This is how the Knicks could blow out either one of these teams.

One would be the fact that the Pistons don't score a lot,

and if they find a way defensively to shut down Cade Cunningham,

they could very easily hold that team to under 100 points and score 120,

especially with Jalen Duren playing horribly in this postseason.

And the way that they would blow out the Cavs is they would take advantage of the opportunities more so than the Pistons did with all the turnovers.

I mean, they're just so sloppy with the basketball.

And that's going to crush them early in games.

If the Knicks get a big lead and late in games with big possessions down the stretch. I mean, the Knicks aren't doing

stuff like that. They're playing clean and crisp and the Cavaliers don't. Even when they

score a lot, there's just a lot of turnovers there. I mean, they were down significantly in the

first half, a down eight at halftime. And I think a lot of that had to do with basically the fact that they were just turning a ball over left and right. So that's how the Knicks would be able to blow out both of those teams if they continue to do that. But, I mean, it's amazing that's even a talking point right now that they're heading into the Eastern Conference finals. Well, they certainly have the big three. There's no question about that, you know, with Mitchell Hardin and Mobley. They play all, you know, almost all the minutes. They're out there a lot. And maybe that's one of the reasons why you see so many turnover is just guys playing a lot of minutes, holding on the ball a lot. You know, especially if, you know, Detroit goes and double teams, one of those guys, you know, they're not the tallest guys.

You know what I mean?

Sure.

So I would say that, you know, I kind of understand why you feel that way because it does get sloppy.

There's no question about it.

And I just wonder if that's just a way that James Harden plays. Well, yeah, I mean, sure. He's been like that for a long time. But the thing is he back in his prime and when he was in the mix for MVPs and won an MVP, it was because he was scoring ridiculously, hitting more threes, going to the foul line he did last night consistently. And it's just, you know, he's older.

He doesn't have the same giddy up, but he still turns a ball over.

So I know that he scored 30 last night.

It wasn't some display of total excellence, but he did score 30.

So I'll give him that because I thought that he would

just completely quit in a game five, and he did not.
