| 0:14.0 | Are the absolute greatest, another overtime thriller in the garden. |
| 0:18.0 | Was it rest? Was it rust? Was it a little bit of both? And were the New York Knicks doing something so electrifying in the mecca that made us all say, okay, good on you, Timothy Chalamee, who had an interview at halftime, and he was asked what the Knicks need to do to clean it up as the Cavs seemingly were going to be walking out of New York up 1-0 in the Eastern conference finals. Timothy Shawmey said we're a little rusty. We're going to have to clean it. |
| 0:54.8 | We'll get it. We'll get it, though, no problem. They certainly did in the fourth quarter. They did some historic, statistical shit. They were down 22 in the fourth quarter.

Once again, I am a James Hardin fan, but then I opened my phone up and my Algo just said, hey, look at this stat. James Hardin's ass. Look at this stat. James Hardin's ass. They're directly designing plays to go after James Hardin. The coach of the Knicks afterwards would say, me and Steve Curry, you know, the guy just signed the extensions, |
| 1:44.3 | won a bunch of titles as The coach of the Knicks afterwards would say, me and Steve Curry, you know the guy just signed the extensions, won a bunch of titles |

| 2:20.1 | That guy's a basketball coach. |
| 2:21.1 | He has his team in the Eastern Conference finals. Let's assume he knows more basketball than I do. But everybody's telling me it's James Hardin's fault down the stretch. He's really getting cooked. And the New York Knicks were taking advantage of it. and every shot was falling in a comeback kids over there for the New York Knicks do it again. |
