Uh, where do I want to start with this?

I mean, you made a really good point just about how the Knicks can win the title.

And, you know, after I wrote this column, uh, after they beat the Sixers and you just look at their point differential after 10 playoff games, and it was the highest in the history of the NBA playoffs better.

The previous number one team was the 2017 golden state warriors, which we all kind of acknowledge as one of the greatest teams ever assembled.

So this next team is clearly for real.

Uh,

you say it's a toss up against the Spurs.

I would agree with that.

I would say that if Jalen Williams is still compromised in the finals, I don't, I don't know who the favorite is, honestly.

I mean, there's two guys that I would like to cite.

The first one is Karl-Anthony Towns, who every time I'm watching the Knicks, I'm kind of waiting for him to revert back to the guy who we've always seen kind of melt down, maybe

Yeah, meltdown, I guess, is the fair description of what he would do during certain possessions in his playoff career.

And he's just played so... I mean, they put the ball in his hands.

It's control tower cat.

And he's just been this combination of calm.

I don't think he had a turnover in this game.

And aggressive.

I mean, not so much tonight because they weren't guarding him that way, but when they put Max Truce on him in game two, he's just quick.

He has the ball.

He goes quick.
