He's had big moments.
He's at a point in his career.
And I think the Hawks in general where it's like we have nothing to lose here.
Nobody expects us to win this game.
And the Knicks aren't just playing with the pressure of like we have to like we should win this.
We're in New York at the Garden like we have to win this game like.
They fired their coach after making the Eastern Conference Finals last year.
There's a world where this looks differently, and it's just the impact of... I don't think they're thinking about this in the middle of the game, but going into the playoffs, if we lose, this guy that's been my teammate over here to the left, is he my teammate again?
This is a different level of pressure that New York is facing.
And then Atlanta's playing free.
And CJ playing free is, I think, what we're seeing.
And it's been really, from a basketball perspective, from a basketball fan standpoint, what he's doing is, it's fun, man.
He's a very fun player to watch play the game when he's cooking.
I think you have to try it again, right?
Like,
I'm not going to sit here and say I believe Jonathan Kaminga is going to play like he did in game two again.
We've seen Jonathan Kaminga have good performances, and then we've seen Jonathan Kaminga, the version that Steve Kerr didn't want to play.
Yeah, the game one version.
I killed him after game one when he had 19 in his defense.
He gave them all 12 in the fourth.
