00:00Yeah, we'll finish it off by hearing from Cat as they get ready for a game six.

00:04And even though the Knicks are up 3-2 in this series,

00:07there's really been a pattern in every game.

00:09The Knicks play awful in the third quarter,

00:11and they're usually down going into the fourth and have to come from behind.

00:15It would be nice if they changed that in Detroit tomorrow night for game six.

00:20Here's Cat.

00:20Prior to the fourth, I think you guys have trailed going into,

00:23if not all the third quarters, most of them.

00:25Is there equal concern as there is for the praise and closing?

00:28I mean, you have a good point.

00:30You know, we haven't put ourselves in a position to get a commanding win.

00:36You know, we've been very gritty this whole series and physical,

00:41and it's allowed us to find a way a lot of times to win.

00:45I think what was the differential in Detroit, like three points.

00:48So, you know, you only could do it so many times before, you know, it comes back to bite you.

00:55I think that tonight we put ourselves in that position,

00:58and we just didn't find a way to get that magical ending.

01:02Yeah, because he and Brunson couldn't hit the broadside of a barn.

01:07And that's it.

01:08When those two are not scoring, they're dead meat.

01:11Because the rest of the team, I think, follows suit.

01:15I don't think anybody played well last night, to be honest with you.

01:18Once those two were off, I thought the Knicks were off.

01:21And they kept coming back and making a game of it, right?

01:24And they still lost.

01:25So, whatever.

01:27I think the Pistons are a problem for them.

01:29Every night, they're a problem.

01:30They were a problem in game one.

01:32And then, you know, they won game two.

01:35They lost game three and four in Detroit.

01:37They haven't won a game in Detroit in years.

01:40They've lost eight straight or something playoff games at home.

01:43They have a problem winning on their home floor.

01:47Do you believe they're going to lose again in game six at home, Mike?

01:51Or are they going to finally win a home game?

01:52I think they're going to win.

01:54I think Saturday, we're going to have a game seven in the Garden.

02:00Every game has been so close.

02:02It's been so razor thin in every game.

02:08I think the Knicks are going to find a way.

02:11I think the Knicks are going to win.

02:12I think the Knicks are going to win in Detroit tomorrow night.

02:14I read you like a book.

02:16I just, I know, I still feel like they're going to win the series.

02:21And they've played well both games in Detroit.

02:24You know, obviously, they were close wins.

02:26They didn't blow them out by any means in either game.

02:28I just feel like you got such bad games out of Cat and Brunson last night

02:32that at least one of them is going to go off in game six

02:37and is going to try to carry them home.

02:40And I think that's precisely what they'll do.

02:43But I'll tell you this now.

02:44And let me give you an early look at the number, which is, it's two.

02:48You know, the Pistons are two-point favorites tomorrow night.

02:50Pistons are favorite in the game right now.

02:52Mine is two for Detroit.

02:55Maybe they are the side tomorrow.

02:57Maybe it is Pistons tomorrow and Knicks on Saturday.

03:00It could be that way.

03:01I'll tell you what.

03:02Like, I think I'd lay it tomorrow, and then I'm going to, I will take it on Saturday

03:07again with Detroit.

03:09I think Detroit will cover the spread no matter what in a game seven.

03:13In fact, I think in game seven, it'll be just like game five.

03:17I think the Knicks will be playing from behind in the second half and in trouble.

03:21And they'll get the garden rocking and get back into the game.

03:25And I think the game will come down to a last-second possession and shot.

03:30They've already proven that they've been a problem for the Knicks in every game.
