00:00I think the big question is what does this game mean for the Knicks and what I mean by that
00:05is I
00:05think the proverbial thinking is that the Cavs is going to be hard for them to recover from this and
00:10I think it is especially after you heard Kenny Atkinson and some of his answers in the press
00:14conference but when I say what does this mean for the Knicks CP what I mean is what does it
00:18mean for
00:19them in terms of the belief that they can actually win the whole thing do you feel like this kind
00:25of
00:25win only increases that belief they certainly can but I think game one should be a wake-up call for
00:31them and hopefully it was a game that got them back into a rhythm you know oiled up the joints
00:36a
00:36little bit after the nine-day layover I thought that was real the shots were off but Jalen's uh
00:41huddle speech to his troops he watched what was going on in the west conference finals he watched
00:46that game they have to up their intensity 10x and so hopefully this game one situation when they
00:51found themselves looking at an embarrassing loss will wake them up I give credit to the Cavs I
00:56thought the Cavs tried to meet that intensity you know when that one play when Carl hits the floor
01:02with the ball in his hands and he's looking to make a pass and Donovan Mitchell dove right on that
01:05floor
01:06ripped that ball and took it the other way that is the type of thing you can't have wasted possessions
01:11there has to be intent in everything can't be sloppy with the ball the 50-50 balls you got to
01:16get
01:16after it you look at what Mikal Bridges did to almost seal that game last night you know Max
01:20is dribbling up the court Mikal Bridges right behind him picks his pocket like those type of things
01:25they've got to be on the margins and up their intensity to really have a shot at winning this
01:31thing because it's only going to get harder from here
