00:15welcome back to another edition of new york got game it's your boy dexter henry alongside brian
00:19fonseca we are just like the rest of y'all we are waiting waiting to see who the knicks will
00:26play next will it be the cleveland cavaliers will it be the detroit pistons the knicks obviously
00:31giving themselves plenty of rest much needed and look i'll say this i ain't mad about the rest at
00:37all either i'm glad we're able to get some rest too but we still got work to do we still
00:41been
00:41giving you content today we're gonna look at some film we are now we would have looked at some film
00:47prepping for the calves or the pistons but we don't know who they're gonna play yet so we said we'd
00:53look at some other film and brian one of the big things i think for this knicks playoff run and
00:59i
00:59know we always say a lot of focus always happens on offense and we've talked through the live streams
01:05live watch-alongs and also on our post-game shows a lot about this knicks defense and how this has
01:11really elevated them to this eight and two start in the playoffs but we know y'all like offense
01:19and we know you like buckets well said but offense isn't always about buckets we're going to talk a
01:24little bit about that today we're specifically going to talk about brian's boy car anthony towns
01:30and how he's been activated i don't have my uh dominican flag uh bracelet you did not come prepared
01:37you did not compare but we came prepared with the film it's fine and we're going to talk a lot
01:41about
01:41how cat has been activated through these playoffs offensively and before we get to the film
01:50we got to talk about the fact that there was so much talk during the regular season
01:54right you and i were on this we were on this even in march it was like late during the
01:59season
01:59late in the season march there was different factions of the knicks fan base i'm saying
02:05cat needs to be more aggressive and not not even just fan base i would say media too
02:09a lot of just like objective media or just big time media like all different just cat needs more
02:20uh involvement in the offense but cat needs more shots that's that's normally what it would come
02:25back to cat needs more shots we did an entire episode entire segments talking about this where it's
02:30like look i hear you on the involvement the shot attempts don't matter that much we pulled up all
02:38the numbers it's like cat shooting more doesn't necessarily equate to more wins cat usage can and
02:44we had asked for hey is he going to be used like the monta sabonis is he going to be
02:49used in a pinch
02:49post more is he going to be used in a high post more and trying to find cutters and use
02:55his playmaking
02:55a little bit but when you lead the league in offensive fouls during the regular season maybe mike brown
03:00doesn't want to pull that card or maybe he's just waiting until the time is right or just didn't
03:03trust you or just didn't trust you but he trusts him now cats made use of those opportunities
03:11and we we we we've we've talked about we've talked about listen it's not really about the attempts
03:17the shot attempts it's about being efficient with these touches and cat during these playoffs maybe
03:23the best playoffs he's ever had from a two-way perspective because he's been good defensively too
03:27but he is making use of these touches and that's a big part of why this team looks a lot
03:34better now
03:34than they have basically all season yeah and i love what you said there making use of the touches
03:38right it's about what you do with the touches i think just people think i think aggressive and i
03:43used that word before is a word that gets thrown around a lot yeah because aggressive is just like
03:46you get the ball you attack the basket it's like no and we're going to look at this very specifically
03:50there are multiple ways to be aggressive with the basketball in your hand that does not involve in
03:55you putting the ball in the basket and i think that has to be noted a lot in terms of
04:01what you
04:01can do with your touches and we've seen that from carlton towns throughout this playoffs now we're
04:05going to look at the film what we're going to do is we'll look at three sections of what's worked
04:09for carlton towns thus far in the playoffs number one it's his passing ability that opens up scoring
04:14for cutters and shooters okay the second thing we're going to look at is cat the options that he has
04:22and what he does when he is in a triple threat position most of the time out of flex action
04:28or in the pinch post and then the third thing we're going to look at because so many people
04:33talked about this with cat was oh and mike brown to be fair talked about this point too
04:39he wanted brunson jalen brunson to playoff ball and that would activate him more and keep him fresh
04:44later in games well cat playing the way he has these playoffs has activated jalen brunson off the ball
04:50and we've noticed this really since game four of the hawk series okay once they committed to this
04:57the way they're playing offensively you've seen brunson look fresher i haven't heard one person
05:02talk about brunson dominating the ball since game four of the hawk series i mean there have been times
05:07we haven't liked some possessions from him but you're not hearing it which we've talked about
05:11we're not hearing anymore from fans and media you're not hearing anymore because brunson's actually
05:15being more activated off the ball you were even even though he's even though he's still taking the
05:19most shots yeah but it's the quality of the shots quality of shots is better more so in the flow
05:25of
05:25the offense and if you've been watching games you know that like that's a big thing and we were saying
05:29and this is why we talked about what we talked about in terms of how the hawks were going to
05:33guard
05:34him and how the hawks did guard him and part of how the hawks got back in that game in
05:38game two
05:40was brunson iso brunson iso and just nobody else really doing anything and basically playing into the
05:47hawks hands and they were able to take advantage of that and then with their back against the wall
05:52mike brown pulls out this card and it's like all right cat we're going to run it through you
05:56brunson you're going to be off ball and then what does that allow him to do take over games late
06:00when you need buckets in the fourth quarter he can go get you buckets in the fourth quarter so
06:04everything is just flowing now a lot better because of these changes changes that we've talked
06:08about them potentially making and now we're seeing the results of that all right so let's get right into
06:13it let's look at it first i want to look at is cat and how his passing ability has opened
06:19up scoring
06:20for cutters and shooters now you saw a lot of this with cutters particularly in atlanta series and how
06:27the knicks just spammed this flex action on either side of the court and cat just operating as a hub
06:35from
06:35the pinch post and it was just absolutely amazing what we saw cat able to do here in atlanta series
06:43and
06:43then continuing on right onto the series against the sixers so let's look at the first video here
06:50we're going to take a good look at it uh here and you see this is from the hawk series
06:55all right and
06:57knicks uh you see where cat is extended here and what i want people to watch here is this is
07:02what we're
07:03talking about brian when we talk about how you can be aggressive even if you don't score the ball
07:10right and what i mean by this i want people to watch watch what the defense does reacting to cat
07:16because this is a defense that now has seen this a little bit they've seen some things they've seen
07:20cat beat them with the pass so now the defense is going to react differently in that mode cat still
07:26has to be aggressive doesn't mean it's to put the ball on the floor the against with two if he
07:30gets
07:30doubled so let's watch what happens here
07:36stop it right here there's a double there's a double now bobble the pass people want to use
07:41the word aggressive aggression you want cat dribbling the ball here with what we've seen from him earlier
07:46this season committing offensive fouls no you want to be smart with his aggression and patient if he can
07:52be right you already got the defenses collab to you you now know cat keeps the ball high yep i
07:59was
07:59going to say that yep cat keeps the ball high you now have two guys trapping this is an aggressive
08:04trap by dyson daniels and echo congo cat's looking cat here's what cat does right here watch his eyes
08:10he's looking at jose alvarado who does what he's supposed to do and pops back out to the three-point
08:17line right and because of that og is also in his line of sight yep and this is a you
08:23have a two-on-one
08:24here but you also have a two-on-one here in your advantage yep so if you make the right
08:30moves you can
08:31get something here now let's watch what happens there you go jose pops back out was exactly what
08:36he's supposed to do yep dyson daniels dyson daniels is in retreat mode because he sees oh og's doing what
08:42i would do here on offense i would just cut to the basket jalen johnson has to account for
08:47two bodies here nakil is over here with mikhail bridges and now it's too late for basically
08:55everybody all og has to do is finish this easier said than done but he does it easy finish easy
09:01that
09:02looks easy but it's because cat you know what the aggression by cat was there the look off it's
09:08almost like a quarterback looking off but he looked at alvarado when he gets the ball protects it
09:13looks alvarado and like you said he's in that line of sight og does the right thing and that works
09:18now
09:19part of being aggressive that i want to notice and we're going to see this in a lot of these
09:22plays
09:23it's not just about cat being aggressive with the pass everybody else has to do their jobs
09:29you see jose alvarado he did his job coming out three-point line og did his job cutting as you
09:35astutely pointed out and cat had his eye in the line of sight of both players so he's able to
09:40make the
09:41pass it was too late everybody has to actually be aggressive for the offense to work well
09:45everybody also has to trust the pass you know you see the trust the shooter right you got to trust
09:50the passer too the trust is important because you could see you see the chemistry there like these
09:54are reads that you weren't seeing that often during the regular season cash is cash is also in a great
09:58rhythm and you know he has the ability that's why he's pissed so many people off during his career
10:02with the inconsistency but when he's on like this like you see oh this is why he was drafted number
10:08one
10:09overall 11 years ago because you can see a lot of these different ways that he can be utilized
10:14and even coming out of college he had a lot of tools it was just can't and to be fair
10:20to him he
10:20also went to minnesota minnesota at the time wasn't the minnesota of now so different developmental
10:25curve okay next play now we're in the sixer series decks yeah we got to mix it up for you
10:31you know we're
10:31going to show you all hawks now we're in the sixer series here and these are two plays in a
10:36row we're going
10:37to watch and what i want people to watch is as we said this segment we're talking about is passing
10:43ability how it opens it up for cutters and shooters the last play we saw a cutter in this one
10:50right in
10:51that play now we're going to look at what we can do and one of the things i think fans
10:56have to keep
10:56an eye on and the work that is done off the ball because it's about you're trusting cat to make
11:01these
11:01right reads but you also have to look at the work that is being done off the ball that frees
11:06people up we just saw it with jose alvarado his movement helped og ananobi right these are guys
11:14who are active that trust the process that trust the way this is going to go and you have to
11:18see it
11:19now here's something because all these things intertwine and players the defense on the other
11:25side they start seeing these actions over and over again yeah they're trying to react their coaching
11:28staff is trying to make adjustments so now it's all about what are the little wrinkles you could put
11:32into it this is another play we're going to watch that are going to involve the primary same three
11:38people in this play it is going to be jose alvarado it is going to be og ananobi and it's
11:44going to be
11:44carlton towns with the ball now different little bit of location for towns he's further out as he was
11:50more in this series basically at the logo basically at the logo then he was in the atlanta series atlanta
11:55series he was more a little bit free throw line extended and around the top of the key here he's
11:59more out andre drummond is on him we know the sixers also play a lot of drop not the same
12:04thing
12:05he doesn't have the same he doesn't have the uh size disparity brian that he had in the atlanta
12:09series to just look over make passes so the passes are or can be a little bit harder but let's
12:13watch
12:14what cat does in this play here
12:21like you're like now you're looking at that and brian i'm gonna let you kick a cook on this
12:24you're looking at this and saying oh speedy jose alvarado did his non-defense gta stuff and just
12:33slipped past and got the thing but it's like no this is awareness yeah this is awareness this is
12:38timing this is precision on this play so brian cook cook on this one because there's some good
12:44stuff going on there on the right side of the floor jose is already telling og like they're already
12:49they're already communicating here vj is watching this happen now vj is already one of the best
12:55athletes in the nba so you have to account for him obviously and paul george is here these are not
13:00two bad defenders that you're taking advantage of by the way not too bad defenders at all so here we
13:05go
13:06there's jose and you see vj look back at the ball there before before this so he's trying to do
13:12the
13:12thing of see your ball see your man yep he looks back see that little peak so there's a little
13:16peak
13:16back he has his hand on jose good screen by og yeah and like a really good screen by og
13:24but that's
13:25the key brian vj ain't got nothing for that and this is where paul george has to switch because it's
13:30going so fast paul george does not he is just not he's he's doing what dex lunching sleep ball watching
13:40whatever you want to say he ain't seeing both that's the ball and the man no he's seeing ball
13:45and then he sees the ball past him and kelly uber here so if paul george is gonna just stay
13:51here and
13:52try to cut this pass off and he's trusting his size trusting his length okay he's like jose is not
13:57gonna get this ball kelly uber can help if this pass does come you have a chance of stealing it
14:05chance
14:06you have a chance if you're not moving the other way if you hit jose here and kelly uber recovers
14:10in
14:10time maybe you hit mikhail bridges who would probably just slide over to the corner like you
14:14probably just like maybe you can get a three-point shot out of it but none of that happens why
14:18but
14:19why though but why here's why i want to get to the why of that none of that happens because
14:23mikhail
14:24bridges keeps moving yes mikhail bridges because look at what mikhail is doing yep mikhail he's not going
14:29to the corner because if he goes to the corner kelly uber actually is going to be able to cut
14:33this off
14:34yeah so he's like i'm going to bring you to deuce i'm going to bring you up here to the
14:39wing
14:39and because this was a great screen by og like can't say enough about the screen and paul george
14:45is just trying to cut this pass off paul george really kind of just should have switched here
14:49and you have nothing here at this point even though even though like if kelly uber takes another drop
14:56maybe mikhail like philly philly but he was just so but he was ball watching there and he was ball
15:03watching paul george also couldn't get a hand on this ball didn't really commit like that you're
15:09leaving vj out to dry honestly vj's is late right all you got to do is hit this reverse layup
15:14and this
15:15is to me this is taking advantage of a just miscommunication by the sixers which is what
15:20you have to do over the course of a game and also another great pass from car anthony towns
15:24who like i mean hits him perfectly in stride this is a dart we'll just show it full speed boom
15:29damn near an alley-oop but it's important it went to the other side of the basket where you can
15:33use
15:33the basket as protection and go up for that reverse layup so even if it was challenged you might get
15:38fouled on that one there's less time to recover that's time to recover so it's a perfect it's a
15:42perfect perfect pass um here again now this play we're going to look at and again it should be noted
15:48it should be noted on that last play og and ob screen vitally important mikhail bridge's continued
15:54movement in bringing kelly uber towards deuce mcbride and the action at the top of the arc
15:59also important now this one you're going to look at this play and say huh this looks pretty similar
16:05kind of does when you look at a lot of the spacing the way we're starting here
16:09og it's going to the corner here right you've got alvarado you can't see him right now but he's
16:15kind of behind cj mccullum here and an echo kongu is on cat cat's a little bit more over to
16:22the
16:22right side of the court where he is this time yep so do the knicks have a wrinkle for this
16:28and what
16:28we just saw is there something they can do that's different is there a variation that can work for
16:33them yeah they do have something right speaking of screens they now to be fair yep they like using
16:43jose as a screener too but this is right but that's very different but and look at how go ahead
16:49no no i
16:50didn't mean to cut you off yeah we also have to note and where this is in the series this
16:55is game
16:55five okay this is game five after they won game four after they won game four and they spammed
17:01the hell out of them with this flex action and he og burnt them for back cut drives time and
17:09time
17:10again so the hawks are now hyper aware of this brunson screening uh and in this case they try to
17:15use
17:15alvarado is basically the brunson screener so that og and and oby can just go back door and dunk after
17:21dunk after dunk which is what was happening in game four so nothing's in a vacuum right the knicks
17:25process this is a process the hawks have watched this from game four they are trying to make their
17:30adjustments and they're telling themselves i'm sure it was told by quinn snyder and company
17:33yo man you can't watch this you can't let og beat you back door so what you see on this
17:38play it's
17:38almost a reverse of the other play alvarado screening for og and our last play we just saw og screen
17:44for
17:44alvarado this is the reverse and jalen johnson and cj mccollum there's it's so in their mind what
17:50happened in game four they're like yo we can't let them be this back door and they don't but what
17:55happens alvarado moves back out to the three-point line the knicks anticipated the wrinkle defensively
18:03the counter and this is why the counter to the counter matters yes they had the counter to the
18:07counter this is literally it this is the counter to counter but again none of this works be if you
18:12don't trust the passer yeah and you don't trust all the other action that's going on this is a
18:17great this is good coaching this is the coaching that matters a lot what people sometimes see or
18:22don't see you did something and you killed them with it in game four right and now you're like
18:28i'm gonna show them the same thing but we're gonna just add a little bit of different difference to
18:31it we put a little sazon on it right we're gonna make it we're gonna make it a little bit
18:35different
18:35here and and and this is this is what you get it's it's great now again jose's got hit the
18:42shot
18:43cat's got to read right it's the perfect it's the perfect read look in like you're not starting off
18:49in the first quarter of a football game with a double move you have to establish something else
18:53in order to get to that you know what i mean like and that's a good analogy i like that
18:57like that's
18:58really what it is so because of those all those backdoor custom game form glad you brought this up
19:03because look at how look at how cj already knows what to do here he's like all right og's gonna
19:07cut it's jalen johnson who's like oh i'm also gonna commit here there's the miscommunication
19:12because they're so paranoid and then jose could just pop out he has a wide open three cj's trying
19:17to recover in the nba and really at any level of basketball this is too late but in the nba
19:21this is
19:22way too late way too late too much room and jose knocks us down jose knocks it down it's right
19:27in
19:27rhythm it's just great it's great reading great trust by everybody now the next play
19:32we're gonna look at um this is game six this this is before it got ugly or maybe this was
19:39the start
19:39of it getting ugly if you really think about it and this is where the knicks are in complete confidence
19:44and complete control of what they are doing and how they want to do it offensively okay this is the
19:51first time we're going to see a play showing you today that does not involve cat and alvarado
19:59og yeah okay this is not the case needless to say he has chemistry with those guys he's got some
20:04chemistry here but cat can have the chemistry with other people and this is going to be one where
20:10cat can activate for shooters and really a cutter here but it's really about the ball movement
20:15we've had a lot of talk about mikhail bridges and what he can and can't do and i want you
20:19this is
20:20really a two-man action here please watch mikhail bridges and cat on this immediately that's the
20:25first thing you should gravitate to if you're watching this because of the screen over here
20:30the knicks have good screeners and i like that i like that mike brown is is using that more often
20:36not that he wasn't all season but like you're seeing it in more interesting ways and you're
20:41seeing what it opens up for them like these guys can screen good screeners i will and i will add
20:45to
20:45that brian you're right also very willing cutters very willing cutters yeah maybe nobody better at this
20:52on this team when fully engaged in mikhail bridge mikhail yeah it's him rogy basically yeah and
20:58mikhail did wing stop is excellent cutters josh hart's a really good josh hart yeah actually yeah
21:02josh hart's actually somebody who recognizes and merely when a cut jose alvarado is good moving
21:06without the ball sometimes your role players have to do those things right to really activate your
21:11stars and to make money yeah honestly it's a make money to stay in the league like you need to
21:15do
21:15those things you need to do these things this is a good screen here for mikhail bridges now if this
21:20works there's a world in which cat could take this to the basket but that's shut off because
21:23there's a double and we'll get to this next about cat is a triple threat we'll get to this next
21:27where he's a threat to drive but this is this is where you got to credit cat i'm glad we
21:31stopped
21:32it right here he recognizes the double we've seen old school cat try to barrel it in on two people
21:38he
21:38would have the offensive foul and the kill alexander walker right there you know what i mean like just
21:43lower the shoulder and then he's befuddled that like oh what like i i didn't follow him whatever
21:48whatever but he's patient here he's patient he's under control yep mo gay and the kill alexander
21:54walker have this double mikhail smartly he's gonna pop out here there's the pass he gets it off of him
22:02good matchup for mikhail doesn't do anything with it gives it back up now watch cat because cat has a
22:09mismatch now yep but so does mikhail from a speed advantage because mo gay he's athletic not as quick
22:16as mikhail bridges no and here's the thing i thought initially when i watched this play i
22:20remember like oh mikhail bridges gave up his dribble through too early but no give him go right he
22:25recognized the speed advantage it's a great recognition now here's the only thing you're
22:28wondering here if you were watching this live is mikhail bridges gonna go all the way to the
22:32basket correct he's gonna fade away this is the only thing oh no he goes all the way to the
22:36he had to in fairness so we should mention yeah all of this going on given you don't have much
22:44time
22:45on the shot clock like actually that's about six seconds right the play is developing and look look
22:49at look at everything you can do in basically five six seconds a whole give and go like but it's
22:56trust
22:57it's a quick reaction it's right everyone's just like boom boom boom you're decisive it's quick the
23:02spacing is good on this play also even with that little bit of time left because typically you don't
23:07want to have shots too many shots late in the shot clock here and mikhail just bails out of this
23:11and
23:12it doesn't kill them because look at where brunson is look at where heart is look at where og is
23:16so he
23:17can cut to the basket yeah and so that carl anthony towns has enough space to find him like very
23:21quickly
23:22he could just put up this shot if he wanted to just beat the shot clock but mikhail smartly just
23:25cuts
23:26catches mo gay slipping and then who's the help defender here gabe vincent you better lay this up if
23:31you're mikhail bridges yeah yeah gabe this has no chance it has an easy who's a good perimeter
23:36defender gabe vincent's a good perimeter defender but if you're at the rim against him and you're
23:41six foot seven and he's six foot two three then yes you should finish that above gabe vincent yeah
23:46and you got it there so these are ways you saw cat impact cutters and shooters with his passing
23:52and he's been so good at this in the playoffs you've seen those assist numbers go up right so we
23:56just
23:56showed you a whole bunch of stuff how cat was impactful offensively without taking a shot yeah
24:02without taking a shot okay you didn't see him take a shot at all now this is where we get
24:07to triple
24:08threat stuff when he's in the position as you see you are now what's the triple threat is when you're
24:12holding the ball and you have the option to dribble put it on the floor you can pass or you
24:18can shoot
24:18you know it was it now cat is in the triple threat position and he is damn near half court
24:24right he's not doing much here but he could put on the floor right 16 seconds on the clock that
24:29just got the ball over just got the ball over now cat is known to be out of control you
24:37got some
24:37action going on on the right side of the floor with jalen brunson coming off of a coming off of
24:42a deuce mcbride screen here so let's watch what cat does and how they're able to bring other players
24:50into the action so here's deuce boom good screen on paul george like good guard screen on paul george
24:59now maxi because maxi was on deuce this puts him in a tough position because that's a great screen
25:06now maxi's like well i have to switch i'm not going to stay in front of cat because he's a
25:12lot stronger
25:13to me so i'm just going to reach nothing you can do here and then this is one of my
25:21favorite passes
25:21that he's made in the playoffs it's a very simple thing this is a very simple thing but maybe it's
25:27because i just love big to big passing you know you know what i love control that's what i because
25:36there's times where we've seen this too we've seen right here you've seen this moment it's like
25:42this might pick the knee up yeah it could be offensive the knicks did remember this is game
25:47four knicks up three you know in the series yeah could be offensive foul and you're like this could
25:51be he could be out of control yeah but no this wasn't the case this remember this is cat dribbling
25:58the ball from damn near half court and doing this and of the lefty pass yeah we'll show it in
26:05full
26:05we'll show it full speed after this but the i honestly and you want to talk about teamwork the
26:11screen by deuce here because you talked about brunson uh sort of screening for him early
26:17and then over here brunson tells him to go yes he tells him yes and he just kills paul george
26:24with
26:24the screen here because paul george is who they want on caranthia towns on this play and wanted him
26:28for a bunch of the series mikhail's properly spaced here with kelly uber brunson's like i'm gonna get out
26:33the way because i know what's about to happen and now because maxi just reaches here and b's in a
26:40tough spot and they were abusing and bead all series um there's no other way to put it this was
26:45more abuse right here so mr robinson's like cool i'm in the dunker spot i know what to do
26:51dunk it he wanted an alley-oop yeah but it was the right play because my cat taking an extra
26:57dribble
26:57take what you can get mitch take like let's let's not let's not go a little too crazy here because
27:02look mitch is like yo give me the alley yeah and also and bead has respected right here that cat
27:08could go up with a floater he's gonna do all stuff oh well cat could just flat out dunk on
27:11here because
27:12mb can't jump like that no you know but cash like you know what i'm gonna be arvidas sabonis he
27:18took
27:18one more dribble sucked and beat in and dropped it off with the left hand it's a beautiful pass
27:22and that's cat being able to kill you again with the pass out of a triple threat hasn't taken a
27:27shot
27:27we haven't seen the cash shot yet haven't seen him take a shot look at stephan marbury in the back
27:31right there you go look at all those philadelphia six fans looking angry this is game four by the
27:37way so there weren't that many six you see some there last time you saw the nicks and the offense
27:42is humming so look at the double big double big truthers uh big big big possession for you guys
27:47here big possession for you there up now we're gonna get to this one here and this is gonna this
27:53is back in the hawk series so you're seeing that action in the pinch post of flex action and there's
27:58so
27:59many things the nicks can do out of it that activates other people but cat can get active
28:03himself and part of cat's recognition and awareness is recognizing when he's got guys smaller on him
28:08yes and actually attacking them without flailing the arms and being out of control sometimes without
28:13shooting this play is all about that but what i want to say as much as passing sometimes about
28:18decisiveness and what happens off the ball so is when you decide to shoot and score you got to be
28:22decisive that's the thing with cat you're gonna see in all these good plays with cat he is
28:26decisive here is this he gets the ball here in the pinch post from brunson he's a little bit
28:32extended outside the three-point line brunson is now and he has brunson gonna screen is he gonna cut
28:38through he decides to cut through and cat's like oh jonathan kaminga you got nothing for me yeah
28:43uses his size spins off him and a finish and the foul right that that was it looked easy was
28:53it easy
28:56no because kaminga's trying to force himself on him he's trying to make him work yeah and kaminga's
29:00not a small dude like he he's not cat strong but he's damn near og's size uh just og's probably
29:08got
29:0810 15 pounds on him yeah but it's not too far off no but cat's he under control great use
29:13of the body
29:14jaylen jaylen almost almost gets him here but he's strong with the ball cat is strong with the
29:20ball also spins and is able to finish and and he knows it he knows nobody could touch him again
29:27cat got the ball it didn't take long yeah one dribble two dribbles spin layup on a much smaller
29:34defender decisive play by currency towns is exactly what you want from him and it shows you the triple
29:40threat option could be okay now this play all right this is game one against philly so philly
29:46ain't seen much yet right but they've watched some tape they're coming off their series against boston
29:52and why i thought this play was notable and i chose it brian the knicks were able to kill
29:59joe l and beat in the sixers joe l and beat doesn't want to play up this is all again
30:04about he wants to
30:05drop yep and this is what you call a little bit of variation it's not exactly the brunson cat pick
30:10and roll but the threat of we'll get to this in a second about brunson being activated but the threat
30:14of cat looking for brunson yes scares philadelphia and scares joe l and beat right so they're going to
30:21be worried about that and they've gotten beat on some see look at that joe l and beat had to
30:25slightly move over and beat is now excuse me edgecomb gets caught he gets around and beat to try to
30:31recover right that that threat of it the threat of brunson being willing to go back door
30:38scares him freezes and beat for a little bit their space and cat says okay yep you gave me too
30:44much
30:44space we know you can't jump yeah and you know and we know you don't want to play the level
30:48because
30:50if he does i'll put on the floor and go past right at once once brunson finishes his cut he
30:55can
30:55just do what he did to jonathan coming in the last play except he'll use more of his speed probably
30:58less of his physicality there you'll be a little bit more finesse but he just takes advantage of
31:03that and then be it's not even like all the way into the paint but this is more than enough
31:08space
31:08for i mean one of the best shooting bigs ever yeah basically yeah it's it's enough it's enough
31:12space cat just again cat is decisive confidently takes the shot the knicks know exactly what they
31:19got out of it they got the little bit of space they needed and they're executing on it at a
31:23high
31:23level and this is what cat not even taking a dribble right he didn't take a dribble on this play
31:28right early in the shot clock too but just right at them it's a great it's a great shot for
31:33him
31:33because again he's decisive and there's so much you can do with cat when he does take shots or he
31:38doesn't take shots and it's good off ball movement by brunson too yeah like brunson when he's cutting
31:43when he's because he attracts so much attention he can give guys so much space when he's just moving
31:49without the ball especially if he's going through the lane and then popping out uh and cat is able to
31:55okay now i have the center of the lane because brunson commanded so much attention going downhill
32:00you know or i mean frankly mikhail can cut og like you just have so many options here mikhail was
32:06going
32:07to cut back door if currently towns didn't take that shot especially with tyrese maxey on him
32:11so like you just have so many options when these guys are decisive and when they're getting into their
32:16offense early in the shot clock because if they wait too long that's where you get into trouble
32:20sometimes save for that one play where we saw the give and go lead to mikhail bridges bucky right and
32:25that was late but that's still great late shot clock but this yo i'm glad you bring up the shot
32:29clock
32:29because early in the shot clock matters here in this play we're going to look at right here 19 on
32:33the
32:33shot clock for the knicks in this one right and the knicks here execute something as they're coming
32:39they get a ball up the floor but they are looking for carlty towns and one of the things we
32:43think when
32:44carlty towns is trailing on the floor and this is in game two of the series against philadelphia
32:49usually thinking about him pulling up for the three and that was there for him in this series
32:52against the sixers but watch what cat does here og's got the ball at the bottom of the screen
32:57watch what cat does here as he's coming up the court and gets the ball look how quick he's decisive
33:03yeah he knows already i want to attack he is like andre drummond andre drummond in space like andre
33:09drummond is not the not that he was ever like an amazing amazing defender i know exactly what he used
33:13to
33:14be statistic right statistically he would be a good defender because a lot of bigs you know the the
33:18metrics can kind of be cooked for the centers to favor them and also he got a lot of stocks
33:23um
33:23which doesn't necessarily equate to amazing defense neither here nor there he knows andre drummond in
33:29space okay we're going right at him the decisive again little clunky but the fact that he opts for
33:38the floater there i think tells you a lot because if he tries to get all the way to the
33:42basket
33:44that's where you can get into trouble because kelly uber actually has the room to be here
33:49to get into the lane potentially even draw a charge if he wanted to not sure how much he's going
33:53to be
33:53doing that you have brunson uh out here in the corner mikhail bridges is also flashing to brunson's
33:59area so paul george can just sit in the paint temporarily because you're not going to get a
34:03defense of three seconds here but car anthony towns is like cool i can get yeah i can just get
34:09to
34:09this floater here and now because andre drummond was backpedaling he's not going to block this shot
34:15you know what i mean he's not position to get off the floor right right exactly so it's like i'm
34:20i'm
34:21quicker than you here i'm quicker than you i know what i'm going to do i'm very much in control
34:26of
34:26this nicks needed this basket too because philly got off to a good start which we expected in game
34:30two no joel and beat good bucket here like just immediately gets the ball we'll watch it full speed
34:36one more time because i like i love this play because it's cat emotion and decisive yeah it's
34:42very quick good recognition of like i have andre drummond in space i can attack him i'm quicker than
34:48him i'm better than him frankly and he gets to a good shot like that's a high quality look even
34:53though it's not at the rim that's a very good quality look in the paint so that's four plays
34:57we saw where cat gets the ball generally all at the top of the key or key extended yeah left
35:03to right
35:04and he gets the ball three of these plays he puts the ball on the floor first play led to
35:09a pass
35:10second play led to a and one third play he doesn't even put the ball on the floor and gets
35:15a shot to
35:15go and this one on the move he's able to put the ball on the floor and then he is
35:20able to score so
35:21you see how efficient this guy can be in a triple threat position in the offense now the last thing
35:27we're going to look at here today and we talked about it so much talk about brunson the quality shots
35:32he gets gets when carlton towns is playing the way he is the quality shots that jalen brunson has
35:36gotten this playoffs has increased remember we were worried about jalen brunson in games two and
35:41games three against the hawks well again all that went away because the quality of shots he's getting
35:45as you mentioned he's still leading the team in shots yeah he's still taking a lot of shots shot
35:49quality is so much better yeah right it's just so much better and so the knicks despite wearing
35:56these black uniforms in game five at home which i do not like they were still humming with the
36:02offense so you see again and he's so different in both series you see cad is more around the top
36:08of
36:08the key and not outside the three-point arc in the series against the hawks he's more outside the
36:13three-point line in the series against the sixers but he's got the ball here again now keep your eye
36:17on
36:18him keep your eye on jalen brunson yeah in this one and remember this is coming off a stretch where
36:24brunson shot after the first quarter of game one so second quarter from game one all the way through
36:30the end of game four 37 from the field and even if you include that first quarter where he just
36:37bugged
36:37out he's in like the low 40s so he did not shoot the ball well for the first four games
36:41of what became
36:42a six-game series and the shot quality to your point improved the shot started falling a little bit
36:49more wow who would have thought so so here we go dyson daniels guarding him
36:58cat uses his body smartly now sometimes he can get overzealous with that but there
37:02it's just it's the right dribble handoff decided not to it's the right amount of contact well dyson
37:06daniels was all over it so hard to put a dribble handoff here he puts his body on him and
37:11now look
37:11at how much look how much more space jalen brunson gets first of all before he even gets to pass
37:15because here dyson daniels is basically with him now this is this is all day beautiful bounce pass
37:23again when you have gave vincent as the last line of defense again very good perimeter defender but
37:29if you have him as the last line of defense and he's here with josh hart then cool go attack
37:33the
37:33basket because cj mccollum is there too cj i mean jalen if you want you could toss this out to
37:39deuce
37:40mcbride but you don't really need to do that because you can go up and attack cj mccollum just like
37:44he
37:44was attacking you early in that series and you could attack if gabe vincent is in the area it's
37:48a great pass by cat it's a great pass and also just using using his body just to create that
37:54sliver
37:54of contact the game within the game right here boom bounce pass touchdown simple easy peasy breezy
38:04easy i mean you you love this this is a beautiful pass great read from cat but it's all in
38:09the action
38:09and jalen brunson can get shots like this think about it jalen brunson is just more more
38:13is more efficient much more efficient excuse me offensively if he's getting about four of these
38:19shots a game kind of this is a variation what we'll see five of these shots a game where he
38:23doesn't
38:23have to dribble where he doesn't have to work as hard it makes him way more efficient and fresher for
38:29if you are in a close game he does have to have the ball in his hands and do that
38:33this is what mike
38:33brown envisioned also credits to josh hart here who at the very beginning of the play
38:38he's cutting because josh hart is gonna cut he does it really really well and gave this is worried
38:43about that backdoor pass and he should be and because he's cutting to the basket he's like cool
38:48i could hang out near the dunker spot with gabe vincent on me so jalen brunson can finish this or
38:53if he
38:53wants dump it off if gabe vincent over commits here yeah you can dump it off yeah i think you
38:57just have
38:58you're giving yourself a ton of options when you execute when you just play good team basketball you give
39:03yourself a ton of options on all these plays you see the final result there but there's a million
39:07other things not a million okay there's several other things you can do if gabe vincent were to
39:12rotate over if you know he were to see a double if cj mccollum were to drop you know uh
39:17earlier and and
39:18then deuce mcbride is left wide open like there's a lot that you can do with these options so if
39:22you
39:22keep running these plays and keep executing like yeah the defense is going to be called off balance and
39:27you can get easy bucket after easy bucket if you execute yeah now the next play we're going to look
39:30at
39:31is one where yeah we've seen cat we saw it in the previous play when we looked at talked about
39:38cat
39:38and triple threat position and this kind of could have a bit of an overlap here but cat can put
39:42the
39:42ball on the floor and then create for others we saw that nice pass to mitchell robinson but then
39:46he can drive and spray mike brown word he can drive hit the paint and spray and you're going to
39:53see that
39:53on this play it's a beautiful spray this was in game four of the next series against the hawks
40:00uh where they were able to even this up but this was part of where you really felt like the
40:05knicks
40:05offense was getting comfortable and it was because they got back to spraying cat can spray heart can
40:12drive in and spray bridges can do it the knicks have a lot of guys that can do what mike
40:15brown wants
40:16and this is a perfect example of it let's let this one play
40:20so you see josh hart gets the ball out to cat now cat could have took that
40:24and a congo closed very nicely shut him down cat keeps the dribble this is where you sometimes worry
40:28oh man he's gonna get out of control but now cj mccullum overhelped a little bit forgot about
40:34his man brunson slid over buckets now we'll slow it down
40:42cat cat gets the ball at the top of the key so josh hart draws two cat pops out because
40:49he loves this
40:50spot he could have taken a shot here kind of mishandled the pass a little bit it looked like
40:53uh good close out by nyeko kongu who's a good defender just not not not very big you mentioned
41:00the the helping
41:05cj he got caught a little bit there oh he's got caught a little flat-footed you know
41:09and brunson got credit brunson kept moving to this open spot moved to the corner uh-huh
41:14damn near collided into the referee to do it uh i think that's scott foster as a matter of fact
41:19okay
41:20all the way into the corner great pass by cat cj caught slipping reading and reacting seeing what
41:27the hawks are doing taking advantage of the easy pressure points that you could find and this is too
41:32late he recovered decently you know not but it's jaylen brunson at the end of the day yeah
41:40and it's this is an easy not easy but it's a comfortable reasonably comfortable spot up corner
41:47three which you want to try to generate come out of corner threes because it is the closest three
41:54point shot and that gives you the highest value on the courts there you go and he gets that there
41:59so
41:59this cat can put the ball on the floor too and open up things for jaylen brunson right and you
42:04gotta
42:05love that from carlty towns he can put the ball on the floor we talked about triple threat
42:09and he can create things for jaylen brunson and look we know how dangerous the brunson cat two-man
42:16game could be and it's i think people a lot of times think about it in terms of brunson dribbling
42:23cat setting the screen then we decide where the ball goes from there but giving goals as we saw
42:28before with cat mikhail bridges absolutely is an option and you're going to see that here on this
42:32play now look at the score this fourth quarter four minutes and ten seconds to go the sixers are up
42:38by 12 and down 12 down 12 in this one excuse me the knicks are trying to put them away
42:42looking for
42:43the dagger shots looking for this dagger shot and these are back but this is a back breaking play
42:47and the reason plays are back breaking because everybody's committed to still moving even if
42:53they don't have the ball so brunson's bringing it up across half court by the way it has to because
42:59you're damn near at the eight second point gets it over gives it up and edge calm too hard
43:09brunson and you see right there that made everything on this play the little hesitation dribble with the
43:14with the left hand because you're thinking this could be a decent shot for brunson to walk right
43:18into a three the hezi gets him maxi does not commit hard enough to what he wants to do do
43:24you want to
43:24reach are you trying to stop him edge comes behind brunson's off balance this is a tough shot
43:29with the left off balance here but is able to get it up before paul george can come and gets
43:34it off
43:35glass now brunson's so good at being off balance and hitting difficult shots but this this whole play
43:41is made by cat's recognition and his willingness to move and then right here because i even thought
43:45oh he's gonna pull up for the three the hesitation the hezi was great the hezi froze everybody it made
43:51edge comb have to slow down for a second it made maxi have to think about whether he was going
43:55to
43:55commit and we always talk about deacceleration is a skill this is that deaccelerates then right back
44:02up to speed and that shot is up tough shot it's a tough shot very tough shot but it's a
44:08quality shot
44:09and brunson's has he made this work but cat's recognition to give him the ball really quickly and
44:15let him go on the move yeah really activated him this really activates brunson he's getting this to
44:21go on the move this is it's a tough shot but it's not one that he had to put a
44:25lot of work into
44:25to get the shot is what i'm saying it's a chain reaction once vj tries to just double him for
44:31a
44:31second but and bead's not gonna again and be yeah and bead's not gonna meet him at the level he's
44:37he's
44:38like i'm not gonna pressure the ball for what now if it beat could he could probably help out here
44:43because you drop a little bit and if you trust that you're quick enough to recover but he's so
44:49worried about cat because look at him be guarding cat he's not guarding cat here no but this is why
44:53you run this kind of play right because you don't be can't move yeah and he yeah and he's so
44:58worried
44:58about cat he can't really help here by the way there's a pass to landry shama here that you could
45:03make if you want to good you could but it's fine but brunson strong with a strong hand and is
45:08able to
45:08finish with a full head of steam too yeah look at where he started the play that's part of the
45:13things the knicks are doing they're getting we talked we saw a play where he got cat going with
45:16a full head of steam we saw a play where he got brunson going with a full head of steam
45:18so you've
45:19seen them try to get guys in motion and catch the ball and you know do very well now we're
45:25gonna watch
45:26this other play here again this last play that we're gonna look at last one yeah in which cat gets
45:32a
45:32ball and gets brunson going once again but brunson it's option it's the optionality the knicks have in
45:37their offense right now is what i love so brunson is coming off of a cat screen cat's gonna set
45:42the screen on edge
45:43comb here right so brunson's working gets off and around screen this is off an inbounds play
45:50ball comes to cat keep your eye on brunson pause that right there again yep what are the sixers
45:59worried about here the same thing that the hawks were worried about in this action the cut from og oh
46:05og might be this backdoor we can't have that happen can't have it happen this is game one this is
46:11game
46:11one this is the start of the series they've been watching the first quarter so they know
46:15they're up on game they know look look look look look look look even in bead by the way yeah
46:22he's
46:23like cool i'm gonna because he's on josh hart and he'll he'll leave that the sixers want to live with
46:27josh hart taking that right exactly they'll put other teams will put jalen duran or jared allen will
46:33probably be on josh hart some in the easter conference finals they're so worried about og on this play
46:37this is not dissimilar from the same immediately alvarado earlier immediately paul george is also
46:43like just basically holding them trying not to they're so paranoid at this you got three guys
46:48playing to cut cool guess what optionality baby yep yep optionality now edge comb's trying to recover
46:59he's trying to recover out to the three-point line yeah brunson's got options you can pull
47:04can have fake for flyby you could try to step in let's see what he does
47:11well head fake but now edge comb is all off balance paul george and and and beat are worried
47:18about a pass going to og so and josh hart and josh hart's getting ready to come in so yeah
47:25really the crash yep brunson goes up effectively gets some contact sells a little bit and gets a
47:35foul and one yeah but that's this money in the bank for for jalen brunson full speed on this
47:42a little bit of contact vj disagrees of course um but brunson did an excellent job of taking guys
47:47out of position of exaggerating the contact he did sell a little bit too the leg look at that leg
47:52look at that and he gets it out but he sells it well vj got caught bro he got caught
47:59and also i
48:00think and and it's like yes you have you have the shot here if you want it now vj is
48:07super quick so i
48:08understand like not taking a jumper here you want to recover brunson obviously he he he can drive right
48:14as well as left yep lefties love driving to the right side and being able to put up a shot
48:20put up a
48:20floater like i i think the floater or a short jumper like this would be the ideal move here because
48:26of
48:26how packed the paint is but because you have vjb you can get to this shot and kelly uber is
48:31going to
48:31be late on the help uh he's dropping a little far like you you could even give this back to
48:38cat if
48:38you want you just have a back out kicked about the cat but listen you have a man beat take
48:42the shot
48:43and he's right on your hip yeah yeah you take that shot it's the right play that's the contact but
48:47it's really on it's just on the other side of the course that's almost the same exact play we saw
48:53with og because brunson sets a little bit of screen not as good a screen as alvarado set
48:58it just is a little bit of a screen threw a little bit enough out there to dislodge paul george
49:02to make
49:02him worry it's literally almost the same play that we saw with alvarado earlier in this film study
49:08session except brunson flares out but decide not to take the three and go inside and still ends up
49:14getting three anyway on the three-point play so this this shows you man brunson can really get
49:19activated by the way shout out to the fan here who's holding up the little three because he thought
49:25the shot was going up too well you got you got well you got three you got three got three
49:30the hard way
49:30three the hard three the whole school way not that way but this is it that's that's some of the
49:34film
49:34that we had for you to look at here in terms of what the knicks can do and how the
49:40offense has been
49:40working well with carl anthony towns when i think about this brian yeah you know before we get out
49:45of here about how cat has impacted his offense and how they've been able to play with him as the
49:50hub of
49:51this offense we know all the assists that he's racked up averaging over six and a half per game all
49:55that
49:55good stuff do you think this style of offensive play that we've seen from the knicks out of the
50:01remaining two opponents possible opponents does it work better against cleveland or does this work
50:06better against detroit or does it not matter they just got to keep using against whoever they play
50:11one i would say cleveland because detroit's just better defensively um i think if you look at all
50:17the teams left in the eastern conference the knicks have the best balance between offensive defense left
50:22the numbers would back that up what we've seen backs that up the roster backs that up if they're
50:25healthy um they just have like you we could argue about who's better defensively at their peak
50:31obviously detroit has a great defense when they're i mean we've seen it in the playoffs even when
50:35they're not playing well offensively their defense is pretty excellent usually but the knicks offense
50:41is a lot better like even if detroit's defense even if you want to say detroit's defense is better
50:46it's not miles better the way that the knicks are playing right now but the knicks offense is a good
50:51deal better cleveland we could have a discussion about offenses because obviously cleveland has a lot
50:58of offensive threats and they're really good too they've had james harden now for a little bit
51:02who helps and donovan mitchell is just a ridiculously talented offensive player but the knicks defense
51:08is a lot better like even if the offenses are let's say on the same tier when they're firing on
51:13all cylinders if you want to say cleveland's offense is even better like the knicks just have a much
51:17better defense cleveland's not a bad defense by any means and i wouldn't even call detroit a bad
51:22offense i would say limited i wouldn't say just flat out bad washington washington will be considered
51:27a bad offense you know what i mean if you look at some of those teams and the thing that
51:31i'm
51:32curious to see when we get to the eastern conference finals is now jb bickerstaff and or
51:38kenny atkinson they will have had data on what the knicks have been doing like now that we've seen
51:44more of the knicks cards so what are going to be the adjustments to the adjustments of that because
51:49we've seen mike brown already pull some cards and adjust to how we just saw it there what was the
51:55play
51:56that was killing atlanta during backdoor right the backdoor cut with og with jalen brunson setting
52:02the screen and then you saw some options out of that where the shooter would then pop out because
52:06they would be so worried about the backdoor cut you're sending two sometimes even three to the
52:10cutter then you have a wide open shooter there that cat can find so the counters that are going to
52:15be
52:15more interesting and with detroit they just have more guys that you trust on an island um than you did
52:22in these previous two series so they'll be tested detroit to me i've said it before they're like a
52:27mini okc like okc before they got isaiah harnstein and alice caruso i think the knicks will be favored
52:32in either series and i think they could beat whoever they play in that eastern conference finals to be
52:36clear um but detroit i think gets you more ready for okc in the finals so if you want to
52:42look at it
52:42that way who's a better test for them it's definitely detroit and their defense uh i don't think they're
52:47going to do what they did to the knicks in the regular season but i wouldn't sleep on them well
52:51because i don't think that you know i'll say this i don't think the knicks are the same team
52:54as they are on the regular season i think they found some things and that's what makes that matchup
52:57if you see it so juicy yeah to me the knicks and the knicks haven't even seen jaylen duran yet
53:03this
53:03season they haven't but i also can make the point that detroit hasn't seen the knicks like this this
53:07season yeah now you said that you're very intrigued to seeing whether it's jb bickerstaff or kenny
53:13atkinson what changes they make based on the film they've now seen the knicks they've got 10 games
53:18really you should take it down to seven if you really can't do the seven game winning streak if
53:23you kind of look from game four of the atlanta hunk series onwards right yeah but for me it's also
53:28like now the knicks and coach brown that's been sitting back and has been able to be like okay
53:35is he going to anticipate some of the counters what wrinkles does he have for that or new things that
53:39he can install into his offense with the time that's the benefit of the knicks having this time
53:42not just rest right there's new things that they can install they're getting more data on these
53:47teams as they are playing with less time to rest for them in their series so there's an edge for
53:52that and mike brown should be saluted for the coaching he's done so far here i just want to
53:57see okay what's that next level right what's that next level of coaching here not just and then what's
54:01the next level of execution for the players because we could talk about the coaching and the wrinkles
54:05and all this stuff but we just saw players and with this film study we did execute at a very
54:09high
54:10level that's what it's going to take to get to the nba finals that's what's going to have to
54:14continue i agree with you it's not going to be a walk in the park and both of these if
54:18it is then
54:19we're going to have some interesting conversations if they dominated the easter conference if they
54:25yeah if they like sweep again i'm not saying that the brooms aren't in here but if they do we're
54:30going to have some interesting conversations yeah it's going to be worried i'd be like yo wait what's
54:34what's actually i don't worry it's the right thing i'll just be like hey they're a lot better than
54:38we thought we they were or they've leveled up their level of execution and so we'll see
54:42a sneaky big thing too is what the nba does in terms of scheduling the the earliest this series
54:51could end is friday if whoever wins game five wins game six would the cleveland detroit cleveland
54:57detroit would the nba then turn around and be like okay game one sunday because that should be like
55:03it's i mean statistically that's a win for the well-rested team more often i think it's gonna be
55:08but i think it'll be tuesday and if it is and if and if whoever wins game five does win
55:14game six
55:14we'll know you know obviously after we record this that you know that gives you enough time also to
55:20prepare for a next series and to ice up as steve smith would say also so i'm looking forward to
55:25it i'm
55:27i would rather see nicks pistons personally because there's already a built-in sort of history there
55:33nicks try to get their get back for the regular season pistons try to get their get back for last
55:37year
55:37in the playoffs pistons are this ascending team the nicks are just clicking at the right time like
55:42that that just has a lot into it whereas the calves i think the calves are a good team but
55:48i just i kind of feel like i have more of a handle on how that'll go and i i
55:52think um
55:53i think the nicks will will enjoy that that one a little bit more
55:57yeah you heard it from brian i'm not making any predictions yet but enjoy that a little more
56:01it's a very interesting way of putting it all right that's going to do it for this edition
56:06oh he has to be healthy though and we've seen him like he's trending in the right direction we're
56:11expecting he did not uh participate in the full portion of practice i know when we recorded this
56:15on wednesday but he did do some shooting drills and stuff can't wait can't wait for the scrimmage portion
56:20of practice i should say that's what's the exact reporting he wasn't in the scrimmage portion but we
56:24will see uh who the next play still got to play the waiting game still have to see how all
56:28that
56:28goes down i hope you enjoyed this film breakdown please let us know in the comments what you think
56:33of the plays the nicks have been running how they've been executing it do you like the offense being
