00:00It was a wild game at the Garden last night and you mentioned it, some big performances

00:04in this game.

00:05Catt had 44 and 10 boards, he hit 7 threes.

00:09Brunson had 36 with 8 dimes.

00:12Trae Young had 38 points and 19 dimes, but there was no rolling of the dice.

00:20Remember when he was rolling the dice on the Knick logo when they went to Vegas for that

00:24NBA Cup earlier this year?

00:26No rolling of the dice last night as the Knicks get it done late.

00:29Brunson bucket and then the stop in overtime on MSG.

00:55Did you see how they blew the 6 point lead to force overtime?

01:13I mean, they are awful defensively, just awful.

01:19And the great barrier thief, did you see him pick off that pass and get that layup?

01:24So I don't have any faith in them at all to win anything, they don't play defense.

01:29Well the funny part is that it's got to be driving Tibbs nuts, right?

01:35Because you know that he wants to play a tight defensive game, he don't want any of this

01:42280 plus points being scored in a game every single night.

01:47He was happy with the win though, despite all the points given up.

01:50I think it's huge, obviously we didn't play as well as we would like, but I love the resolve,

01:56you know, to, you know, what happened at the end of the game, then go into overtime and

02:02just find a way to win.

02:05And that's what this team has done, you know, all year, so, you know, we're scoring a lot

02:11of points, but, you know, obviously there's there's room to improve too.

02:18I mean, it's all on the defensive end that they need to change the team.

02:23The dynamic is just not there.

02:25I mean, you look, when they played at the garden over the weekend with the Celtics,

02:32they got annihilated when they were up in the in the first half, they were up 30.

02:38And then in the second half, they got it to three and then it was back up 30 again.

02:43Like they cut the lead to three and then they just stopped playing defense.

02:48And within five minutes, it was a 30 point lead again.

02:50I have never seen a team so weak on the defensive end, just give up buckets and droves.

02:57Like, I mean, the Celtics, when they're playing the Knicks, let's face it, they're the champs

03:02and people have the Cavs way ahead of the Knicks as well.

03:05But when the Celtics are playing the Knicks, they're actually, in my view, when I'm watching

03:08them play, it's like they're laughing.

03:10They're like, this is easy, this is easy work.

03:15And you know, light work, they call it, they're moving the ball around or getting wide open

03:19shots one after the next, burying threes, dunks.

03:24I mean, the first play in a game on whatever it was, Saturday, Sunday, whatever day, Saturday,

03:28now whenever it was, first play of the game, Tatum went from the wing right in and posterized

03:34somebody.

03:35On the first play, the first bucket of the game, like, they're like, you can't beat us.

03:39They can't beat Boston, they just can't.

03:42So you can score all the points you want, if you can't beat the champs, you're nothing.

03:47I mean, you're not winning anything.
