Not at that level.

But anyway, so Knicks were the big story.
Knicks-Celtics last night.
The big story.
So the annoying part of it, quite frankly, is the fact that they weren't fully healthy because I wanted to see them with Jalen Brown in the lineup.
Everybody else that was questionable, I believe, played last night but Jalen Brown.
So that was a little bit frustrating.
But the way that the Knicks played was more of the same that we saw against the Atlanta Hawks, which is really, really encouraging.
There was more Jalen Brunson getting rid of the ball and being a guy who was facilitating and not just isolation and chucking up shots.
Josh Hart was spectacular shooting threes.
And in the fourth quarter, really, really good.
Carl Anthony Towns, good defensively.
I think he only had...
Two fouls.
It might have been three, but I think he might have only had two fouls last night, which was great.
And you saw more of the action with the pick and roll with him and getting them the basketball.
And they just seemed like they were rounding into shape again.
So this is the team right there, the way they have played the last two games that I feel the best about.
I'm not going to say that because they beat the Celtics without Jalen Brown, I'm ready for the Celtics in the playoffs, but this was the style of play and the way that they won the game I thought was very encouraging because it was right off the heels of a very similar win against the Atlanta Hawks.
