00:00
And I gotta tell you, uh, the thing I was most impressed with was Ananobi.
00:04
He's taken his game to another level. I don't know what's gotten into him, but he is now,
00:09
you know, attacking the rim and getting the ball. And you remember when he would just like stand on
00:15
the wing or in the corner and shoot that three and do nothing? Like somebody's gotten through
00:20
to him that he's a monster. And he, he's now like driving with authority to the 10 and dunking.
00:27
And I mean, Tomahawk dunks, two-handed dunks. Uh, he's the difference. Like I, you know,
00:33
Brunson was back and he had 15, but whatever, what they act like he was out for a year.
00:38
Uh, he went out that long. It's Ananobi that's made the difference on that team. And then
00:42
I'm sitting there watching Deuce and Shamit and these guys all knocking down shots.
00:49
And I gotta tell you, uh, I think the son, well, the sons are finished. They're,
00:52
they're eliminated now. They suck. They're awful. But I did see Booker. I, what he put
00:57
up like a 40 burger. Like it was really cool being at the garden, watching the Knicks before
01:01
the playoffs start. Well, listen, you know, the best thing that ever happened to the Knicks with
01:06
Brunson getting hurt is one. He got to rest to it. It forced two guys to step up and do more.
01:13
And that's Mikkel Bridges and OG Ananobi. Now Bridges, I don't think got the 20, but obviously
01:18
OG has been 23 plus nearly every game that Brunson's been out. And you're seeing a guy
01:24
that went from a quarter three point shooter to step backs, drives, dunks. And he's one of
01:31
these guys for all that. It's crazy. When he starts going offensively, it's almost like his
01:36
defense goes to like an even better level. So to me, I think this is making the Knicks more
01:42
dangerous. Now the problem has always been with the Knicks. You saw it with Randall. And then
01:46
you saw what Brunson was fourth quarter. Give it to Brunson. Dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble.
01:51
Brunson save us. Tips has to be careful. He's bro. He's got guys. He's got the best. Yeah. I'm
01:59
shooting big men, maybe in the history of the NBA and cat. He's got a, a, a three and D monster who
02:06
now goes to the rack and obviously OG McKellar stepped up. You're getting stuff out of sham.
02:12
It's been really good. They finally got deuce back. And now that they got Mitchell Robson,
02:17
Pharrell, now the Knicks are whole and they're dangerous. It sets up such tomorrow. I don't
02:24
think people understand in New York. It's such a big game for the Knicks. It may not be big for
02:30
Boston. It's big for New York. New York has not beat Boston. They're not clean, not be Cleveland.
02:35
They haven't been Oklahoma city. You know, for real, they haven't been even competitive
02:40
and any of those day games, the Knicks need to show up and show up tomorrow versus Boston
02:45
and a big spot and have a feeling that they will. I hope you're right because they sure
02:49
haven't in the six meetings between the salaries and cabs, they've lost every game.
