00:00And I gotta tell you, uh, the thing I was most impressed with was Ananobi.

00:04He's taken his game to another level. I don't know what's gotten into him, but he is now,

00:09you know, attacking the rim and getting the ball. And you remember when he would just like stand on

00:15the wing or in the corner and shoot that three and do nothing? Like somebody's gotten through

00:20to him that he's a monster. And he, he's now like driving with authority to the 10 and dunking.

00:27And I mean, Tomahawk dunks, two-handed dunks. Uh, he's the difference. Like I, you know,

00:33Brunson was back and he had 15, but whatever, what they act like he was out for a year.

00:38Uh, he went out that long. It's Ananobi that's made the difference on that team. And then

00:42I'm sitting there watching Deuce and Shamit and these guys all knocking down shots.

00:49And I gotta tell you, uh, I think the son, well, the sons are finished. They're,

00:52they're eliminated now. They suck. They're awful. But I did see Booker. I, what he put

00:57up like a 40 burger. Like it was really cool being at the garden, watching the Knicks before

01:01the playoffs start. Well, listen, you know, the best thing that ever happened to the Knicks with

01:06Brunson getting hurt is one. He got to rest to it. It forced two guys to step up and do more.

01:13And that's Mikkel Bridges and OG Ananobi. Now Bridges, I don't think got the 20, but obviously

01:18OG has been 23 plus nearly every game that Brunson's been out. And you're seeing a guy

01:24that went from a quarter three point shooter to step backs, drives, dunks. And he's one of

01:31these guys for all that. It's crazy. When he starts going offensively, it's almost like his

01:36defense goes to like an even better level. So to me, I think this is making the Knicks more

01:42dangerous. Now the problem has always been with the Knicks. You saw it with Randall. And then

01:46you saw what Brunson was fourth quarter. Give it to Brunson. Dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble.

01:51Brunson save us. Tips has to be careful. He's bro. He's got guys. He's got the best. Yeah. I'm

01:59shooting big men, maybe in the history of the NBA and cat. He's got a, a, a three and D monster who

02:06now goes to the rack and obviously OG McKellar stepped up. You're getting stuff out of sham.

02:12It's been really good. They finally got deuce back. And now that they got Mitchell Robson,

02:17Pharrell, now the Knicks are whole and they're dangerous. It sets up such tomorrow. I don't

02:24think people understand in New York. It's such a big game for the Knicks. It may not be big for

02:30Boston. It's big for New York. New York has not beat Boston. They're not clean, not be Cleveland.

02:35They haven't been Oklahoma city. You know, for real, they haven't been even competitive

02:40and any of those day games, the Knicks need to show up and show up tomorrow versus Boston

02:45and a big spot and have a feeling that they will. I hope you're right because they sure

02:49haven't in the six meetings between the salaries and cabs, they've lost every game.
