James Edwards

Every possession matters.

Well, I think we have to hold coaches accountable that every minute –

Every rotation, every logical thing with the game should matter.

And I think you, like I said, you maximize the risk when you don't have one of your two best players out on the floor.

And it was just a situation where the Knicks have, like that lineup has no ball handling.

And the Hawks just really just got really aggressive on the ball.

There was just nowhere that the Hawks, that the Knicks guards could go.

And that lead went away very quick.

And yes, they missed a lot of free throws.

Yes, they had a lot of turnovers.

But think if they were able to build on that nine point lead there, like we're not having this conversation either.

And again, it's about minimizing risk, I think, as a coach in the playoffs.

Well, his explanation was he thought that they had several bad possessions in a row and they wanted to get a good one.

And if I'm not mistaken, they didn't get a good one out of the timeout, but he felt like they needed to draw something up and get a good possession because the last few hadn't gone well.

Man, I think that it was people have kind of referenced that dust up him and Jose had there.

And to my knowledge, they're friends.

They played together in New Orleans.

But it showed I felt like to me it showed the rest of Atlanta like CJ doing that.

Like, we're not afraid to be here.

And you mentioned like CJ in Portland.
