after opening presence, you go and you pop open the TV and it's the Knicks and Madison Square Garden.

This is a huge test game for the Cavs who are struggling to find their own identity.

I know they're dealing with injuries, Mobley is out, et cetera.

But at the same time, you're now facing what I think is the best team in the Eastern Conference.

And this Knicks team is rolling.

We talked about post-cup haze.

They do not have any of that post-cup haze right now where Brunson is firing on all cylinders.

They're going deeper into their bench too.

So guys like Tyler Kolick are playing for them.

I think they look awesome offensively.

And this could either end up being truthfully embarrassing for the Cavs if they lose badly and questions will be asked about

After this, like whether they will have to make a trade, whether they are going to look in a different direction, coaching wise, et cetera.

I think this is one of those games, especially on national TV, where if they don't come out and perform, there is going to be a lot of questions about the Cavs.

They have been worse on the court.

I would have loved for one of the ornaments to be a Brunson burner because, you know, because I think Jalen Brunson could go 47 points and we just don't bat an eye about it anymore.

It's not even a thing anymore.

Yeah, it's gotten to the point where it's an afterthought because you expect him to be this guy.

And to think when he first signed with the Knicks, people were going crazy about the contract that he signed.

And now he's, in my opinion, like an MVP caliber player.

I think he's probably on the short list of guys.
