00:00NBA season can go up and down I sometimes don't get why people it's never going to just be that
00:06smooth especially coming after a championship and a celebration around it that was unlike any other
00:11just because it was the Knicks. Players have talked about it like you've been receiving kudos all
00:15summer and pats on the back and everything else it's hard to come back and start with the Thibodeau
00:20era even though he changed the culture the series that the Knicks won a lot of those series were
00:25series where you weren't favored so you had the underdog sort of label you had that underdog
00:31mentality now you're not the underdog anymore you are living at Central Park you know what I'm saying
00:37like you ain't slumming it no more you in the penthouse now I wonder how difficult it's going to
00:43be to master up and get all that extra motivation when I've heard this from champions all the time
00:50you are playing 82 playoff games in a regular season there is no just a regular game for those
00:58guys on the other side it's their chance to say we knocked off the champs and we've seen it happen
01:04with Golden State when they won Oklahoma City last year even though Oklahoma City had this great
01:09regular season they took everybody's best shot and by the time the conference finals came along
01:14they were so fatigued and worn out and then if they ran up against the team that had their number
01:19and
01:19everything else this is what this NBA's era is no team is that much greater than its competition anymore
