00:00All right, let's get to tonight.

00:02You got a big game, too, at the Garden in New York City on 7th Avenue.

00:08Knicks and the Pacers, of course, after the absolute,

00:12one of the all-time meltdowns by the Knicks in game number one.

00:17They will try to bounce back.

00:19Of course, here's Jalen Brunson yesterday.

00:22He's going to try to sell you that they have to forget about

00:26what happened in game one.

00:28Good luck with that.

00:29I don't know how easy that is.

00:31Here's Jalen Brunson.

00:32I mean, I'm pretty sure everyone's going to be thinking about it,

00:35but I think our mindset has to be short-term memory.

00:40Just from, like, the disappointment part.

00:42Obviously, we got to learn from what we did,

00:44but the short-term memory comes from the disappointment

00:47and discouragement of how we lost last night.

00:49So I'm just going to be ready to go.

00:53I have that same hoodie.

00:56I wear it to play basketball.

00:58Yeah, I wear it once in a while.

01:00Listen, there's no getting away from game one.

01:04In fact, I don't think you ever recover from it.

01:07A game that you're up 17, a game you're up 14, a game you're up 9,

01:12a game you're up 7, a game you lose in overtime, a game you lose on a brick.

01:19That was a brick that Halliburton shot off the back of the rim that, you know,

01:23went up to the roof and came back down like it was a rocket.

01:27Houston, we have a problem.

01:29I mean, the thing went up 8 feet in the air and came straight down and counted.

01:32The only thing that benefited the Knicks was that it was a 2, not a 3.

01:37And then they go to overtime and still got their ass beat by a guy that they gave up on.

01:41They're really good at that.

01:42Obi-Wan Kenobi topping.

01:44Your boy with a couple of vicious buckets and dunks in overtime to finish it off.

01:50And he was and won.

01:51That was a horrible missed call on the foul on the dunk.

01:54He got hacked hard across both arms.

01:58I mean, they'll never live it down, that loss.

02:00In fact, they'll lose the series and they'll all talk about it later.

02:03Game one killed us.

02:04Did you see this video, since you brought up Obi, the video of the fan saying something to him

02:11when he was walking off the court after game one?

02:14It's been circling around social media now.

02:17So, he's like signing a couple of things.

02:19Because, like, some Knicks fans do still love Obi-Topp.

02:23But he was on the team.

02:24Some fan was in there and gave him the business.

02:27You, Pharrell and Ness, that's why we got rid of you.

02:31He just went right, looked right at the guys.

02:33He's like, yo, I'm staying at the Four Seasons.

02:35Bring yourself on over.

02:37He was like, come on over and see me.

02:38He just gave him right, went right back at him.

02:41Your boy Obi wasn't backing down from anybody.

02:43Listen, he is a great player.

02:45I think he's a great player.

02:47He's a weapon.

02:48He comes in and knocks down threes and he goes to the 10th.

02:52My man has been doing Dr. J reversals from one side of the glass to the other on the hop

02:58with the reverse layup off the Jimmy Kiss.

03:02I think Obi's a great player.

03:03His brother, the whole family, they're ballers.

03:06I like him.

03:07I thought it was a mistake to get rid of him.

03:09But the Knicks have it all figured out until they get punched right in the Adam's apple.

03:13Of course, we know Tom Thibodeau is a guy that likes to dive into the film.

03:18He's always talking about, we've got to look at the film.

03:21We've got to look at the film.

03:21Dive into some hair plugs, too, son.

03:23He must have loved the film of that game the other night.

03:28Let's see what he found out.

03:29Probably a compilation of things.

03:31We had a big lead.

03:35A 14-point lead with 2.50 to go.

03:42We fouled in the penalty.

03:45We stopped the clock.

03:46We gave him open threes.

03:48We missed free throws.

03:49We gave him second shots.

03:53And that's why no lead is safe.

03:55And you have to play for all 48 minutes.

03:58You've got to challenge shots.

03:59You have to have awareness as to what's going on in the game.

04:01I think he's just incredible that they get him to do the interviews.

04:07I know it's required by the NBA.

04:09But he's the last guy in the world that wants to be doing pressers.

04:13And I can't even believe that he answers questions.

04:16You know, I got to give him credit.

04:18I think he's got more flavor than Carlisle.

04:21Carlisle is really vanilla.

04:23But, you know, it's not like Thibodeau's a comedian.

04:27But he's right.

04:28Everything he said was dead on.

04:30I mean, they did everything wrong.

04:32Their defense was terrible.

04:34Second chances, one after the next.

04:36I had a guy tell me one day, last week, listen, I had 21 and 10 in a game.

04:42And the guy goes, listen, we don't need your points and rebounds.

04:46I go, what?

04:47And the guy goes, yeah, we need you to get back on D.

04:49I said, I get all your effing rebounds, bro.

04:53He goes, rebounds don't matter.

04:54I'm like, oh, dude, I really don't like you.

04:57I told him, I go, I never liked you.

04:58And now I don't like you more.

04:59Can you imagine what, listening to this guy, he said, we don't get any rebounds.

05:05You get second, third chances.

05:07They score every time.

05:08This is the NBA.

05:08This is pro ball, son.

05:09This ain't down Fat Man Rec League.

05:11You get second and third chances in the pros.

05:15There's guys knocking down shots.

05:16Naismith never missed.

05:18Second and third chances.

05:19Missed free throws.

05:21Turnovers.

05:21Bad shots.

05:22Bad clock management.

05:24L.

05:25You lose.

05:26All right.

05:33So.

05:34All right.
