him emotionally invested in all of these things in the wins in the losses when he's pissed off when he's you know when he's happy and enjoying the enjoying the fruits of it all we need to normalize it again man like we need these guys to kind of show that outward emotion I love every bit of it all right let's take a break after this love fest this emotional therapy session we've just had and we'll talk about what the hell the Knicks are going to do on offense against Victor Wimbinyama

I think so, just because I think Brunson is so important for them offensively that I think you put Castle on him right away to kind of set the tone and pick up full court, press him, make it hard for him.

And you know how it'll go.

They'll have somebody else bring the ball up and then it'll get to Brunson eventually.

But that opens up the opportunity for Castle to play in denial.

So I think Hart is going to be huge

in the series because like you said it's not just the ball screens but it's if wimpy's not going to guard him he has to hit his threes we saw what it looked like in game one in the eastern conference finals where he wasn't making his shots now of course they've added shamit in and everything changed and now we'll talk about that we'll talk about the landry shamit machine that's happening we're going to get to these things but like i think the important thing right there is how hart

Is is playing is going to be a big deal for the Knicks offensively.

Right.

But I think more importantly is, you know, how will the Knicks handle the pressure from the Spurs?

Because I think they're going to pick up full.

I think they're going to pressure them early on, make them work and try to get into them as as much as possible.

I mean.

He's not Brunson's not the same as Shea, but it's a similar test in the sense of like the isolation and having to be on top of everything.

Now, Brunson's a different sort of challenge for for Castle and the craftiness and the way that he plays and the moves that he's capable of making.

So I think it's going to be a fun cat and mouse just between the two of them.

But I'm fascinated to see how the Knicks are going to work and get off ball.

Because I think for me, the key for them offensively is let's get Brunson off ball and get him back to the ball and open it up from there.

And we saw it with Cat getting the catches at the elbow and going –

going operating out of that because I think he might have to be the main facilitator if Wemby's not going to be on him he might be the guy that you you facilitate and run your offense through especially if it's a Vassell or Champagny that's starting out on him you might need to go to that and I think that'll open stuff up and you could still use Hart as the screener for Brunson it opens up lanes and and opportunities with everything that goes through it it's going to be a really fun sort of
