I think it was, was it a comment he made?

Where he said, I thought Philly was a sports town.

Maybe it's not, something like that.

I mean, that is...

That's kicking dirt.

That's twisting the knife.

Whatever metaphor you want to use, that's Josh Hart being very, very mean.

But look, I mean, it was crazy.

It felt like a road game for the Sixers.

At least that's how it seemed on TV.

All right, so I'm going to do my best theories on, like, why do the Knicks feel like they've found the vibe, okay?

Theory number one.

Mikael Bridges is back, and it's not just that he's scoring.

It's that he's looking to score.

So he drove at Kelly Oubre at the beginning of yesterday's game and had a little pivoty up and under kind of layup.

He drove at Joel Embiid, and I can't remember if he drew a foul or he kicked out to a corner three.

He had Maxie on him in transition, and he sealed deep drafts.

in the paint and drew a foul which is something he used to do in phoenix quite a bit he's hunting like relocation threes and cuts and he had one transition basket where he actually flexed like skinny mikhail bridges gave you like a flex and i don't know what happened to him

I don't know if he had to hit rock bottom in the Atlanta series to come out the other end.

I don't know if the Villanova guys lifted him up and just said, play.
