I need to know more about this Porzingis illness. It's wild. It's one of the wilder stories, I think, of this whole postseason. I've been extremely disappointed in the defense of Derek White and, to a lesser degree, Drew Holiday. They're there purportedly as two of the best defensive guards in the NBA, and they can do nothing with Jalen Brunson.

I think White's been getting cooked for most of this series. Holiday's been better, but he had that bad foul at the end of what came to that sent Brunson to the free throw line. You know, these this is what they're counting on as much as they're expected to make shots when they're open. They've got to be elite defenders. And in clutch time situations, they they haven't been that.

So it's it's just disappointing kind of across the board the way this team is played.

If we're going to sit here and assume Indiana is the team they're playing, they can beat Indiana. I don't think Indiana is that special. I think the Knicks... I think they've got the horses to do it. I don't see them beating a Western Conference finalist winner. I don't see them beating Oklahoma City or Denver or Minnesota. I just don't see it.

I don't think they have the defensive skill set or the defensive horses to beat any of those teams that come out of the West. But can they get to the finals? Yeah, I think they can easily get to the finals. I don't think an Indiana series is necessarily all that problematic for them.

I think the same strengths they have in this series, being Brunson, Bridges and Ananobi defensively, Towns in the post, I think those are going to be... similarly strong for them in a conference finals matchup. But you get to the NBA finals, I don't know, man. I don't know if you see it, but I don't see how they match up well with any of those teams.
