Would the Knicks have a shot to win?
It's amazing how good they are against those two teams.
And I think a lot of it has to do with Cat on the pick and pop jumper and Jalen Brunson not needing to get all the way to the rim to score.
So it pulls Wemby away from the rim.
So there's a lot of things.
Wemby, if you go back and watch, he does not want to play against Mitchell Robinson.
Mitchell Robinson is way too physical, right?
And listen, I'd be insane to pick the Knicks over those two teams.
But I'm saying, matchup-wise, if you go back and watch those matchups, it was in the NBA Cup, and they played them in one of the games with the Christmas Day game.
The Knicks look incredible.
Their defense was really good.
They present a lot of problems.
And a lot of it has to do with the guy who got beat up all year, Carl Anthony Towns.
He's a matchup nightmare.
And when Philly beat Boston...
I told everybody, listen, Carl D. Towns is not Nemeus Keita.
Nemeus Keita is a good player.
But the fact that he can get outside and he can snap those threes, I mean, the guy won a three-point contest.
That is a matchup nightmare for every coach out there.
So I think of any team that can beat those two teams, the Knicks is the worst matchup for them.
