00:00I said in the East, there's two teams that matter.

00:04It's the Celtics and the Cavaliers.

00:06Now I know our Knicks beat them in the playoffs.

00:08And I know everyone thinks that the Knicks are better than the Cavs, but they aren't.

00:12The Knicks have five.

00:14I think the Cavs are 10 deep.

00:16I think they're dangerous.

00:17I think they're more exciting.

00:19I think the rivalry with the Thunder is the best thing going in the NBA.

00:23And if the Knicks play the Cavs right now, I'm betting on the Cavs to beat the Knicks

00:27because they're better and deeper.

00:29And I think Kenny's, you know, for my money, I like Kenny as a coach.

00:36And I think what you said about Aduka, I said it earlier too, I said Aduka, I said he might

00:40very well be the best coach in the NBA, pure coach.

00:43I know Spove's great and I can sit here and talk about Mazula, but for my money, despite

00:48what he did in the office and hitting on chicks, Aduka can flat out coach.

00:52I think Kenny can flat out coach.

00:54The Cavs to me are money and so are the Celtics.

00:58Listen, the Knicks have problems.

01:01They got problems.

01:02They're dealing with injury concerns with Brunton.

01:04You got the chip bone and the finger of Cat.

01:07They don't have depth.

01:08You don't know if Mitchell Robson comes back, they need to make a move.

01:10Here's what's great about Cleveland, and you said it, Pharrell, it's the sum of their parts.

01:18I think I've got it right.

01:19I think they have like seven, I think they have eight guys that are averaging 7.6 or more.

01:26They can beat you in different ways and Donna Mitchell is so much under control.

01:32Great job by Kenny Atkinson.

01:34I knew he was going to be a great coach when he got another chance.

01:37That's part of the whole thing.

01:38I'm going to go with Carr, learn that split-screen action at T-Ball and bring the player personnel

01:43player development.

01:44He's done a hell of a job.

01:45He's not the coach of the year for me.

01:46I know they lost last night.

01:47To me, it's still Jamal Mosley of the Orlando Magic with all the injuries he's had to deal with.
