00:00Game one goes here, stays here to New York.
00:04Fellas, we know what's on the line this year.
00:07We know the pressure that's on this team this year.
00:10You just got an initial look.
00:12What's your thoughts on game one, man?
00:14I think game one's good, but I think what it was is we was up by, like, what, 18?
00:19Then they came back.
00:20What it was is they were trying to cover the spread, but we still won, though.
00:23I still think Nixon five.
00:24I'll give them one game.
00:25Nixon five.
00:26He said it was good.
00:27You got to give me more than just a good.
00:30They closed this thing out at the end.
00:32What's your thoughts on game one?
00:33It was a tight game, but it was good.
00:36My man, go ahead.
00:37Go ahead.
00:38Pull the dreads out.
00:39You got the Jalen Brunson dread braids going on right now.
00:42This is a franchise that you were born in.
00:45You've been born in the highs, the lows, and the misery.
00:49There's a lot of pressure on this team.
00:51They ain't won a championship since before you were born,
00:54and they ain't won since your dad was born,
00:56and since I was born.
00:58Is this the year of the Knicks?
01:00Yes, of course.
01:01Why?
01:01Why?
01:02Why?
01:02Because we different, bro.
01:04We different, bro.
01:05I'm going to put you on the spot.
01:06Why are they different?
01:07What's different about this team than last year's team?
01:10This is pretty much the same core, bro.
01:13You don't know what's going on.
01:14Because our team is, like, new and improved,
01:17and they're, like, locked in.
01:19Why are we new and improved?
01:21Talk about it.
01:22Why are we new and improved?
01:23Jalen Brunson.
01:25He's the same Jalen Brunson as last year, bro.
01:27This is the same JB.
01:29Well, come on in here.
01:30Dad, you talk to me then, Dad,
01:32and let me get that same energy, Dad.
01:34Because hold on, hold on.
01:35Let me set it up real quick.
01:37I got a job to do.
01:38You ain't seen a chip since you've been born.
01:42This is cool.
01:42Why this year?
01:44All right, so look.
01:45I was the one that saw John Starks dunk with Michael Jordan.
01:49That's how old I am.
01:50Okay.
01:51This year, we have Jalen Brunson.
01:53Everybody knows who that is.
01:54I'm about to make WWJBD T-shirts,
01:58because what would Jalen Brunson do?
01:59You know what I'm saying?
02:00He's the GOAT.
02:01He's our savior.
02:02And he's the one.
02:03We got OG Ananobi.
02:05We got Josh Hart.
02:06You can't even move a body without a heart.
02:08We're playing against the Adley and the Hawks.
02:10We're going to deep fry every wing.
02:12Y'all got me up.
02:14Everybody on the team is 6'10 and under.
02:16I don't got nothing to talk about.
02:18I'm going to go back to work.
02:19I'm going to call out on Monday.
02:21Never disrespect me.
02:22If they ever come to the garden again,
02:24I'm going to smack the out of anybody.
02:27Okay.
02:27I let him just real quick, real quick.
02:28Okay, well, come on back.
02:29Come on back then,
02:30because you're talking about the wings.
02:32I like the lemon pepper wings.
02:33We're not going to Magic City tonight.
02:35This is the city tonight.
02:38But you're talking round one.
02:41Going forward,
02:42does this Knicks team have enough?
02:44Okay, listen.
02:45I'm going to be honest with you.
02:46If we're going to talk about number-wise, right,
02:49we own the Detroit Pistons, right?
02:51Be honest.
02:52We own the Detroit Pistons.
02:54There are different Detroit Pistons,
02:55but we still own them.
02:57They swept them this year.
02:59The Pistons ran it this year.
03:00We put Jason Tatum in a wheelchair.
03:03We put Jason Tatum in a wheelchair.
03:05What else do I got to talk about?
03:07It's all real.
03:08All right, fellas.
03:09From what y'all saw tonight,
03:11and tonight's Game 1 win,
03:13does this team have enough to go to the NBA Finals?
03:17Definitely.
03:18Why?
03:19Why?
03:19Jalen Brunson.
03:20Yes, they do.
03:21That's it.
03:21Two words.
03:22One man can't do it all in the playoffs.
03:25We've seen that before.
03:26Does this team have a deep enough roster and bench to take it to the NBA Finals?
03:31They do.
03:32Why?
03:32Brunson.
03:34All right.
03:35Fill in the blank.
03:36Nixon.
03:37Four.
03:37Nixon.
03:38Four.
03:39I need y'all swag.
03:40Like, I'm loving this Knicks swag right now.
03:42You look like some diehards.
03:44You look like you're fiending for a championship.
03:48I'll start with the lady first, sir.
03:49I'm a Southern gentleman.
03:50Ma'am, is this the year?
03:52This is it.
03:53I feel it.
03:54Why is that?
03:55Why is that?
03:55Because they're amazing.
03:56They're awesome.
03:57And we love the Knicks.
03:59Let's go.
04:00They've been amazing.
04:01They've been awesome since the Tom Thibodeau days.
04:03He's turned this program around.
04:05There's a lot of expectations.
04:07There is a lot of pressure.
04:08When James Dolan said, finals or bust, are you on board with that?
04:13I'm on board with it.
04:14Dolan, go.
04:16Let's go next.
04:17What did you guys think about game one?
04:19A little stressful, I'm not going to lie.
04:21Why is that?
04:21Why is that?
04:22I was very nervous.
04:23I needed a Xanax.
04:25But we won, and a win is a win.
04:27So I'll take it.
04:28All right.
04:28I need a Gatorade and some electrolytes after that one.
04:32Thoughts on game one, sir?
04:34Mike Brown's, we've seen him throughout the course of the season.
04:37But now this was his first playoff game as head coach.
04:41What did you think about Mike Brown's first game?
04:43I think Thibodeau was putting in lines.
04:47Thibodeau was putting in lines.
04:49I wasn't sure.
04:50I like it.
04:51I like it.
04:52We'll take the win.
04:52We'll take the win.
04:53All right.
04:53On the count of three, let me see how sync y'all are on date night tonight.
04:57I'm going to say something.
04:59Y'all fill in the blank at the same time.
05:01One, two, three.
05:02Nixon.
05:04Five.
05:05Seven.
05:06Okay.
05:07Seven.
05:08Oh, my gosh.
05:09All right.
05:10All right.
05:10Fellas, the journey continues.
05:13Game one stays here in New York.
05:15How are we feeling about the Knicks?
05:18We're going all the way.
05:20Let's go, Knicks.
05:21All the way.
05:22You're saying sweet.
05:23Why sweet?
05:24Why sweet?
05:24We have the best player in the NBA, Jalen Bronson.
05:27We have the second best player in the league, Carl Lee Towns.
05:29And we got OG Adanobi.
05:31Let's go, Kat.
05:32I can't get better than that.
05:33Real quick, who's facing the most pressure?
05:35Which player is facing the most pressure to perform throughout the playoff?
05:39I think Carl Anthony Towns.
05:41Not even close.
05:41Kat is going to show his redemption.
05:43He's going to play amazing this whole playoff.
05:45Let's go, Knicks.
05:47When James Dolan said finals or bust, are you on board with that?
05:51Listen, we're going to the finals.
05:53All I know is Kat won me a lot of money tonight.
05:55We're going, Kat is the MVP.
05:58Jalen Bronson's the MVP.
05:59They all deserve it.
06:00They all deserve it.
06:02Let's go.
06:03We got ourselves an OG Knicks fan right here.
06:06I'm liking the hoodie.
06:07Matter of fact, I'll swap out the blazer for the hoodie right after this, though.
06:11Right after this.
06:12All right.
06:13Game one.
06:14Took the dub.
06:16Got it a little close.
06:17A little bit too close for some people's comfort.
06:19What's your thoughts on game one and how these boys were able to close this thing out?
06:23I mean, they got as close as we let them come to be real with you.
06:27I mean, they ain't really got it for us.
06:29See, the way I see it, like, we kept that pressure applied on them.
06:33The defense was immaculate.
06:35And as far as the offense, they ain't really got nothing for us.
06:39Now, I mean, I love the double with Towns, the double digits, 26.
06:45We got Brunson, 28, eight, about seven assists and all that.
06:52Oh, yeah, we getting the ball around.
06:54I love the ball movement.
06:55I love the pressure.
06:56Like, we got them in four.
06:58Four, no.
06:58Question, bigger pressure, or who has the bigger pressure on them to perform
07:02throughout the course of this postseason and playoffs?
07:05Carl Anthony Towns and Mikael Bridges.
07:08See, I ain't going to hold you.
07:10I got to give it up for Carl tonight.
07:12Tonight he got that pressure.
07:13Who's got the most pressure?
07:14You can give him a high five.
07:16I mean, we know Bridges got it, though.
07:19I mean, who's got the pressure to put it on throughout the course of the playoffs?
07:23They should win this series.
07:25This series should be easy.
07:26Bridges, why?
07:27I mean, it's Bridges because, like, you see, it's more necessary with Bridges
07:31because he's going to be applying the pressure on them forwards and everything.
07:35And Atlanta do got some forwards.
07:36So, I mean, that's where we do need the pressure more applied anyway,
07:40especially against the perimeters.
07:42We got it locked down.
07:43You dig?
07:44Initial thoughts on Mike Brown's first playoff game as the Knicks head coach.
07:50I ain't going to hold you.
07:52We got to give it up to Mike Brown, man.
07:53He's doing immaculate, you know what I mean?
07:55And I love how he had kept it a little secret with the Townsend Brunton little, little, little.
08:01The two-man game.
08:02Yeah, yeah.
08:02That's lovely, you know what I mean?
08:04He pulled that out the back, like, at the end.
08:07I mean, you got some more tricks up the sleeves for y'all.
08:09It's up.
08:10Lastly, owner James Dolan said it's finals or bust.
08:15Do you think that put too much pressure on this team for this postseason run?
08:19And do you agree that it's NBA Finals or bust?
08:23I mean, I definitely know we getting to the Finals.
08:26It ain't no stopping that.
08:28We are getting to the Finals.
08:29They ain't got nothing for us.
08:30You're not worried about Detroit.
08:31You're not worried about Boston.
08:33None of those teams.
08:33I ain't going to hold you.
08:34Detroit know what it is, you know what I mean?
08:36I mean, this ain't last year, but the same token is, you know what I mean?
08:39All that was in a regular season.
08:42Playoffs is a different ball game, baby.
08:44It's a whole different ball game.
08:45We got this.
08:46I'm going to say something.
08:47You finished the sentence.
08:49Knicks in four.
08:51Let's go.
08:52You know.
08:53Huh?
08:54Yo, son.
08:56Game one goes to New York.
08:58We still got another game before we go down to Atlanta for some lemon pepper wings.
09:02What do you think about this series?
09:03So far, down one.
09:05It's okay.
09:07We got a young core.
09:08We just literally figured ourselves out literally towards the end of the season.
09:11It's okay.
09:12It's okay.
09:13Just game one.
09:13It's just game one.
09:15Game two coming up soon.
09:17We're going to, you know what I'm saying, put Dyson Daniels on Jalen Brunson.
09:20It's going to get real hectic, all right?
09:22It's going to get real hectic.
09:22I don't know why you New York fans think that it's all jolly and stuff like that.
09:26Just wait.
09:27That's all I'm going to say.
09:28Just wait.
09:29Question.
09:29I see you still rocking the Trey Young jersey.
09:32He was shipped away.
09:33He is a villain here.
09:35But he's not in this series at all.
09:38So who's going to be that guy that can match Jalen Brunson's energy?
09:42Brunson!
