Thinking to myself, if they cough this up, this is very difficult to recover from this because you might not get another game in this series where you stifle the Knicks offense to the extent that you just did.

Because the way they were playing coming in.

Now, the Knicks might go for 65 points in the first half of game two.

I agree with that.

Yes.

They might be completely ready to go now.

And now what do you do?

At least you had it corralled.

You've just got to close the deal.

And it was both ends.

And your offense let them down just as much as their defense.

Just terrible.

Yeah, I mean, what is so different is there have been really big guys that have roamed the lane and protected the rim.

I played with one in George Maristown in Washington.

We talk about guys like Manute Ball and Sean Bradley and Ralph Sampson, even, who was pretty mobile.

There's been nothing like this.

A guy that's this long that has this kind of mobility, even to the point

where you talk about, well, take the ball as a driver into his chest.

That's the way to negate a shot blocker.

And that's true to a large extent.
