Brian Scalabrini

stop with the little guy can't compete.

Little guy struggles to compete in college basketball.

Little guy Milwaukee, when well run, is competing just fine in Major League Baseball.

And with that, Brian Scalabrini, the award-winning Celtics broadcaster, is now joining us live.

Analyst for several years.

All right, let's start with the Knicks.

Listen.

We talked about it earlier, Brian.

Last year, it was the Pacers.

Year before, it was the Mavs.

Year before that, it was the Heat, where you get like, the Heat were an eight seed.

And you look up and you're like, where the hell was this in the regular season?

I mean, I think a lot of it is using Cat as a distributor, which they didn't really do last year, is a big part of it, getting the burden off Brunson.

But are you shocked by the level of offensive efficiency you're seeing from the Knicks?

A little bit because their offense this year was hit and miss at best.

And you hear them complaining a lot about ball movement and Brunson has the ball too much.

And Carl Anthony Towns' numbers were down.

But I think what has happened is their defense has gone to another level.

And then everybody is now playing playoff basketball.

I don't think they're whining about shots.
