And he has had to do that.

He's had to be the hero.

He's had to have these 40-point games in the playoffs for them to win.

And I think the best version of the Knicks as presently constituted has him taking a little bit of a step back

and getting the ball out of his hands and finding Carl Anthony Towns a hell of a lot more than he has this entire season.

Here's one of the things that I take out of last night's game.

Carl Anthony Towns didn't have any three-point shot attempts.

So that meant that the game plan was get the ball into Carl Anthony Towns because there's really nobody that can cover him.

Nobody can stop him on the Memphis roster.

It's completely different when they play teams that are better.

And I'm telling you right now, there are two teams –

And one of them may be a team that they see in the first round of the playoffs, and that is the Philadelphia 76ers.

They're there getting healthy, and they're starting to win.

The other team is the Boston Celtics.

I mean, they're rolling.

And Jason Tatum's now playing up to 30 minutes a game.

So it's obvious that other teams within the conference are getting better.

They're getting healthier.

They're actually even playing better.

I mean, who would have thought that Philadelphia would be 42-34 given everything that's gone on there the last five years?
