00:00And, Peter, I thought I'd never say this in my entire life,
00:02that the New York Knicks would win an NBA championship.
00:07How shocked are you that this Knicks team was able to do what they did to the Spurs?
00:14Shocked?
00:14I'm not going to say shocked.
00:16I would have thought the Spurs could have won the series had they done something
00:21in the second half of games or the fourth quarter of games.
00:25I mean, we could get into, you know, why that didn't happen.
00:28And to me, to me, it's shocking the way they folded up along the dotted lines.
00:35That's, you know, I blame the inexperience of the coach.
00:40Yes, the players are inexperienced, but I blame the coaching
00:45and I blame management.
00:46We're going to get into the next, but I blame San Antonio management
00:51for not having an experienced veteran coach next to the rookie.
01:00Now, Johnson coached last year as an interim.
01:03This was his first year.
01:04But they don't – they had nobody on the bench that's coached in the NBA ever.
01:09When I was covering the NBA, let's go back to when the Sixers hired Billy Cunningham.
01:18You know, who did he bring in as his assistants?
01:21He brought in Jack McMahon and he brought in Chuck Daly.
01:25You know, when Phil Jackson got the Bulls job, who did he have?
01:29He had Tex Winter and Johnny Bach.
01:31You know, when Steve Kerr went to the Warriors, you know, he had veteran assistants next to him.
01:38I just can't believe that Greg Popovich thinks that this kid could handle this kind of pressure.
01:45Now, obviously, he didn't think they were going to get this far.
01:48And compliments to the Spurs for getting this far.
01:51But they were so ill-equipped, so inexperienced, so many mistakes.
01:57So many – I mean, everybody in the world, why is Fox in the game as much as he was
02:03to the detriment of the team?
02:05Mistake after mistake, missed shot after missed shot, and there he is still playing at the end.
02:11I mean, coach, you got to go.
02:14You and Fox, both of you got to go.
