00:00If the injuries had not happened for the 23-24 team, and this is where I'm really hanging my hat,
00:04if the injuries had not happened to Randall and OG Ananobi, and you just got that team that we saw
00:10in January, the team was deep, that team made sense, they were put together,
00:17they were up 2-0 on the Pacers, even without Julius Randall. Now, if we're factoring in the
00:24part about Randall was lost for the season, and he was not coming back, OG was a little different
00:30because he was at the end of the game too, Randall was not coming back. I think injuries should factor
00:35in. If you look at the fully healthy version of that team, we saw it for a month, and that
00:40team
00:40had some serious wins. Beat the Nuggets, beat the Sixers when they were rolling, when Embiid was
00:45putting up 35-15 every night, they beat the Timberwolves who made it to the Conference Finals
00:49that year. They beat the Celtics late in the year. After OG came back, Celtics fans would
00:54say, yeah, the Celtics didn't care about that game. The Knicks whooped up on Boston. I think
00:58it was three or four games left to go in the race season, so they beat all comers, but injuries,
01:03they were walking with you. Injuries are a factor. Has to be. Has to be a factor. Injuries
01:08has to be a factor. And so, we could talk about that 23-24 team having a tough road. We
01:13could
01:13talk about them being close. Were they close to winning at all? If Neesmith's shot does not
01:19go down. Yeah. At the end of Game 3. I think the Knicks are winning that series. I think
01:25the Knicks were the better team of healthy in that series.
