James Edwards

Okay, that's fine.

All right.

It was a mystery in Piston's world for a long time.

Yeah, we'll have to catch up on that.

Well, that was an easy one to remember.

It sounds like it was a little more harsh than I had actually thought it was.

So I can understand why you remember.

There's a couple things, but I'm going to go a little surface level here.

I don't think anybody that's honest with themselves and watched this Knicks team for the past six months was surprised by the result in Game 2.

This is a team, and I've talked about it a ton, the highs have been very high, the lows have been very low.

and there are just times when this team gets in its own way sometimes it's on the defensive end they've been a good turnover team in totality throughout the regular season but there were a lot of games late maybe that last month where you saw like 16 turnover game 18 turnover game here and there and then there's times when you just like they figure something out and then they go away from it whether that's involving cat late or the the two-man game with him and brunson there's just something about this team

That...

When they show you something, they sink you in.

And then a game or two later, it could be as quick as that.

They make you just realize that this is a group that is super talented, but something just doesn't click.

And in Game 2 specifically, the fourth quarters have been egregious, even in Game 1.

But I just think defensively, the way that Atlanta played was awesome.

They were showing and blitzing a little bit on Jalen, and Okonwu was dipping back,

right into the meeting Josh Hart basically right at the free throw line kind of mucking up those drives Cat when he's not involved in the action just kind of standing in the dunker spot and there was that play where Kaminga blocked Brunson and Kaminga was on Cat at that time it's like well Cat's just sitting there in the dunker spot like it's just making it easy as Jalen's trying to go left and he just basically didn't move the spacing was bad and Kaminga's there for an easy block so

I think with Mike Brown, the one thing he really wanted to do with this team, and I agree with him, his ideology with it is not always calling plays and playing like a read and react feel offense.
