and it works, but I don't know if other teams are going to go, you know what we need?

We need guys who played in college together, and we're going to have teamwork here.

No, what they're going to do is – what the Knicks did, really, is copy the blueprint of OKC in Indiana just a year ago, playing nine, ten guys, right?

This is why Coach Thibodeau really –

was shown the door.

He only played six guys the last two years in those conference finals versus Indiana, whereas Indiana was playing nine or ten guys, had fresher guys at the end of games.

And Mike Brown comes in and says, okay, I'm going to trust in my bench.

Jose Alvarado, along with Brunson, wins game four in that 29-point comeback.

Landry Schammett was huge off the bench all postseason.

Deuce McBride, Mike Brown had trust in his bench.

He played nine deep throughout the playoffs, and that was a page from the Thunder and a page from Indiana a year ago.

Depth matters.

So that's where the copycat will come.

You'll see more GMs and teams trying to load up.

Instead of having a starting five, you really need a starting nine.

You need guys that you can plug in and out, that can play major minutes, and you've got to have depth if you want to win a championship now.

Yeah, and it's good that you mentioned Mike Brown.

He's going to get lost in all of this because this is about Jalen Brunson, the Knicks as a franchise winning.

I thought Mike had a really good playoff run, and something clicked after game three against the Hawks, and he took chances.

He took chances.
