Yeah, a couple things.

One, you look at that game last night, and I do agree with you.

When I saw the note before 5 o'clock, 6 o'clock, whatever it was, when I saw it, that Jalen Brown wasn't playing, it was disappointing as an outside observer watching the game.

The game still had a really good feel to it.

The fact that they applauded, I mean, give the Knicks fans a lot of credit.

I wondered if they were going to taunt him.

Instead, they gave him a

Nice ovation.

Tatum we're talking about, yeah.

Yeah, Jason Tatum, which I thought was very classy in the starting lineups.

So that was very cool.

It definitely took away a little bit from the game that Brown didn't play.

But when you're making big shots down the stretch, as they did, when you're making big defensive stops, Tatum had, what, two?

I think he had six or seven turnovers on the night.

He had a couple in the final five minutes.

But I thought part of it was him.

I thought part of it was the defense the Knicks were playing.

They've won 52 games.

You've got a couple to go.

You know, I said back in November when the season began and they were playing well and they won the NBA Cup, this team's got the makings of a championship team.
