So before the Knicks fans come after me,

They have peaked at the right time.

Their starting five is great.

Mike Brown has come in and done exactly what he was supposed to do.

He's found depth.

They made a good move at the deadline.

They have Alvarado, Mitch Robinson, and Landry Schammett, and Deuce McBride.

The bench is deeper.

Yes, but man, the other seven teams in the Eastern Conference playoffs didn't exactly entertain me in the last few weeks, okay?

The Hawks series may have been their toughest series round one.

It definitely was their toughest.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, for a Knicks fan, I'd be a little bit worried about rust and the oh shit factor.

Here comes a team that is throwing a lot heavier punches than who I've played for the last month.

And I think that is a real thing.

I don't know who's going to win game seven, but either one of those teams is going to be like, man, we are...

We are playing very hard.

We've just won one of the hardest series in years in this league.

And here we come, we're hosting games one and two on our own floor, we're sleeping in our own beds.

So the Knicks are gonna have to sort of snap out of this sort of gleeful situation
