the playoffs. We just mentioned it. The Knicks are a team full of guys they got in free agency

0:05.1

or trades. They've gotten hot. I think a lot of people thought the Celtics were going to be there.

0:10.0

It's going to be the Knicks Cavs. Knicks, I guess, are a favorite in this series. How do you see

0:15.7

that one playing out? Yeah, I'd agree with that. I think the Knicks, you know, you do wonder about they've been off for

0:22.8

almost more than a week, and you do wonder about Rust versus Rust is a kind of classic

1:26.5

at any moment. But if he is

1:28.1

healthy, I think that he's a difference maker for them in that series. Isn't that kind of crazy,

1:34.9

1:40.3

and they didn't draft any of them? That's kind of crazy. Well, it's New York.
