I think we all are, including the New York Knicks and the Detroit Pistons. They close out their series. I think, you know, if you're looking at the two sides of the NBA sphere, New York-Detroit was pretty much the most interesting, most fun series overall. You think about a series that ended 4-2. decisive scores, 15-point differential between all six games. Very tight series.

Actually, second in NBA history to have four straight games decided by three points or fewer. The last time that happened was in 1984 in the Eastern Conference Finals with the Celtics and the 76ers. So... New York, Detroit making some history. Of course, Detroit made their own history, getting to the playoffs, winning a playoff game, but they weren't able to win at home, James.

I want to start first and foremost with the Knicks because We saw a Brunson clinic, a Brunson burner. As the Knicks would say, bad boy Brunson came out. I mean, 40-burger, four rebounds, seven assists, but particularly, once again, another unbelievable clutch performance. I mean, he cooks up the craziest moves, despite Asar Thompson having unbelievable clamps on him in the fourth quarter.

There you go. And that's the thing, though. As you look ahead to the next series, I'm looking at the New York offense. Of course, Tobias Harris did his thing in shutting down a Carl Anthony Towns. Finished with 10 points. Yes, 15 rebounds, but definitely not the production that you'd expect out of

The two-man game between Jalen and Cat, a lot more so out of Mikael Bridges and OJ Ananobi, who combined for 57 points. They were the offense for the Knicks alongside Jalen. Now, is that sustainable going against Boston, especially considering the size that Boston has?
