00:00but we have to start at the place where we have to start and that is tomorrow night the biggest
00:05basketball game in a long time and obviously they play the nba finals all the time but after what
00:10happened in game four in the knicks versus spurs series this game feels bigger it feels different
00:17this is not your run-of-the-mill basketball game and it's one of the most anticipated in my opinion
00:22three one basketball games ever you see the point spread right there despite the fact that they just
00:28lost five and a half point favorites the spurs are um is what i'm saying i see on the screen
00:34they have
00:34it at four i still see that line at five and a half i see the money line is in
00:39their favor the over under
00:40is about where it's been all series long so they're calling for a lot of good defense like it's been
00:44but the spurs are favored and it's something to think about here because that game four is a big
00:52big thing for both parties and this is what i mean obviously when you're up 29 points and you find
00:59a
00:59way to lose a basketball game the you know the all the eyes are on how the spurs failed and
01:06then on the
01:06other side when you're down 29 in the second half you're down 27 at the half and you find a
01:11way to
01:12come back thanks to wu-tang and og gets the big tip and all that happens the knicks are now
01:19there's blood
01:19in the water and everybody's thinking well it's over it's time for the knicks and knicks fans are as
01:24happy as i've ever seen them when i say pause on both ends because there's the extra day that game
01:31happened on wednesday they're not playing tonight so both teams as far as the adrenaline dump and all
01:37that things they all get to come down and relax after an emotional game like that also if you're the
01:45knicks right there's now a lot more pressure on you at this moment than the spurs there's more
01:52pressure at this moment on the knicks than the spurs because at this point the spurs can play
01:58completely free nobody is picking them they're huge underdogs in the series not in the game but in the
02:05series no one believes that this knicks team that has been on a historical run going all the way back
02:10to the nfl draft is capable of losing three straight basketball games i don't think they're capable of
02:16losing three straight basketball games so the spurs now have the ability despite the fact that they had
02:21a historic collapse to completely play free meanwhile for the knicks there is 53 years of history on their
02:30shoulders entering this game tomorrow i'm sitting in the room surrounded by knicks fans it is not a
02:36comfortable feeling to be around knicks fans okay they're not safe and you see how violent they've
02:42been lately we'll get to all that a little bit later on i don't feel safe right now but that
02:47pressure
02:47now switches to them so obviously it's way better to be up 3-1 in the series than down 3
02:54-1 in the
02:54series i'm not crazy but going into this game tomorrow you gotta ask yourself some questions now i was
03:00talking to a knicks fan before the game because i don't just go by me everybody knows i'm from the
03:05philadelphia area i'm a sixers fan i talked to the local people we do this show in new york city
03:10and i talked to a knicks fan who said i can't imagine it's going to be this easy now that
03:19thing
03:19could be right or wrong but that tells you what's going through the minds of a knicks fan of this
03:23has
03:23been almost too smooth think about it you're down to one then you run off 13 straight wins you're just
03:31destroying everybody just mowing them down handled the sixers handled the caps first two games on the
03:38road you handled the spurs you lose one game you're down 29 you come back and win again everything's been
03:44going really really smooth but you can't help but think new york that sooner or later there's going to
03:50be a real challenge here and the adrenaline dump of the spurs versus the adrenaline dump of the knicks now
03:57goes top of mind as well when you couple it with that new york pressure that new york 53 year
04:05pressure
04:05yes the game's on the road but we've seen how knicks fans have traveled and you have to imagine there's
04:10some spurs fans that have given up which means there may be even more knicks fans in that building and
04:16that's good for crowd noise and that's good if the knicks are up and have a lead but what's it
04:22like if the knicks
04:22fall behind early in this game once again how is that feeling and i just got to say it i'm
04:29a little
04:29worried about the knicks right now not in the series but in this game i'm going to say it right
04:35now the spurs are going to win game five and it's coming back to new york for game six the
04:40spurs are
04:40going to win game five and it's coming back to new york for game six now that doesn't mean that
04:46the
04:46knicks are going to lose the series because i do not believe i've never believed that the knicks were
04:50going to lose this series but i'm really starting to wonder if if you can come back like that and
04:57then go into the game with the same mental edge and when you really look at it they haven't had
05:02a good
05:02mental edge at the start of games in any of the games so far this this series the first quarter
05:08has
05:08been problematic for the knicks in all of the games and now i'm to believe that after all that stuff
05:14where
05:14they're talking about the greatest comeback the party they can't help but be human you're talking
05:20about an arena in which 19 000 people from billionaire to millionaire to guys that won
05:27the tickets in a raffle didn't move for about an hour after that basketball game that kind of
05:32adrenaline and now you're starting the game zero zero they don't get to start the game up one after
05:38an og ananobi tip they start the game zero zero and they got to go win 48 minutes again and
05:44i just
05:44have a feeling that the knicks are going to be lower down to start the game than the spurs and
05:50the
05:50spurs have already had an advantage in the beginning of those games i think it's going to show and i'm
05:56going to say it out loud the knicks are going to lose game five and we got basketball next week
06:02on
06:02tuesday will be game six and then it's likely over then but don't get too cocky yet
06:08you
