Knicks Schedule Getting Real Now

20 Feb 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What did the Knicks struggle with in their recent game?

0.031 - 12.588 Gio

We know that the Knicks had trouble covering Cade Cunningham last night, who went off for 42 points, 8 rebounds, 13 assists. Mikkel Bridges, OG Ananobi, didn't do such a great job. So they went to Sohan to see if he could do a little bit better.

0

12.608 - 20.959 Gio

And at first, if you listen to the guys on Amazon Prime, Dwayne Wade and Stan Van Gundy, they liked what they were seeing until Cunningham made them look silly.

0

20.939 - 29.013 Jerry

But so has competing. He's going to beat it.

0

29.033 - 34.903 Boomer

He's not going that easy. Look, he's competing, coach. Oh, got him. That's filthy. K cutting him with a deep shot.

0

34.923 - 39.37 Gio

Yeah, it was one of those plays where he was with him, he was with him, and then a step back and he wasn't with him.

Chapter 2: How did Cade Cunningham perform against the Knicks?

39.35 - 53.312 Gio

and a wide-open three, and it goes in. That was Ian there as well on Amazon Prime. 126-111 the final. Three of Cunningham's 42 points. Here was J.B. Biggerstaff after the game, the Pistons head coach. No shock what Cunningham did tonight.

0

53.372 - 67.442 Unknown

He's been that all year long. I don't think you pick an MVP based off just one game or one statement. He's been this way for the entire season. You know what I mean? He's dominated both ends of the floor and impacted winning in a major way.

0

67.522 - 85.044 Gio

And Paul Reed impacted the game, too. 18.7 rebounds, few blocked shots. Tobias Harris at 11 and 10. Detroit without Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart. Here was Mike Brown. Yes, all of that is true, but the fact of the matter is we were 8 for 35 from three-point range. We couldn't shoot, and it's pretty simple.

0

85.284 - 88.628 Unknown

I thought we had some wide-open looks that normally go in.

0

88.608 - 90.811 Boomer

And they didn't tonight. And they didn't.

90.951 - 91.832 Jerry

Make or miss league.

91.852 - 111.578 Boomer

Yep, always. By the way, Jerry, I don't know if you heard out there, if you were cutting some tape, the odds to win the Eastern Conference on FanDuel Sportsbook. So rank the top four teams that you think FanDuel Sportsbook would have as one through four as the favorites to make it out of the East to go to the NBA Finals.

111.558 - 117.186 Gio

Well, it's got to be, I mean, just saying the teams, it's got to be the Knicks, the Cavs, the Celtics, and the Pistons.

117.327 - 118.508 Boomer

Right, so put it in order.

Chapter 3: What insights did the commentators share about the Knicks' performance?

121.393 - 121.593 Boomer

Nope.

0

121.914 - 134.132 Gio

They don't. No. Boston, Cleveland. Cleveland. Cleveland number one. Because of James Harden. Which is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. Well, no, no, no. I'm just wondering if prior to the trade they had Cleveland number one. I don't know.

0

134.452 - 138.018 Jerry

Because of James Harden, the guy who likes to get the season over with?

0

138.178 - 148.043 Boomer

I'm wondering if it changed since the trade. I don't know. That'd be silly if anybody's betting on them. So, yeah, Cleveland 1, Boston 2, Detroit 3, Knicks 4.

0

148.063 - 150.308 Gio

Knicks down 4th, huh? Damn.

150.328 - 151.43 Boomer

Yeah, I know. Surprising.

151.71 - 161.785 Gio

Yeah, that is surprising. But Knicks plus 420. I still can't believe the Celtics are 36. They beat the Warriors last night, too, at Golden State. It's a team like they don't go away. Winning organization, man.

161.805 - 162.125 Boomer

Yeah, they are.

162.165 - 175.684 Gio

Winning DNA. And a lot of changeover on that roster as well. Here was Mike Brown. Remember the beginning part of the season and really through December and even January, Carl Anthony Towns just talked about trying to find the right fit and still figuring things out.

Chapter 4: Who are the top teams favored to win the Eastern Conference?

255.919 - 258.462 Boomer

I mean, they've been the best team in the East the entire year.

0

258.482 - 260.605 Gio

Yeah, I was surprised that he actually had that take.

0

260.805 - 278.707 Jerry

That seemed kind of odd. Especially after last night with missing two of their guys and then just hammering the Knicks the way they did. I'll tell you, we were talking about coming out of the All-Star break. Obviously, it was Detroit last night they lose. Now comes Houston. And then you've got at Chicago, at Cleveland. Yeah.

0

279.148 - 287.076 Jerry

And then you're going to have Milwaukee, so-so, and then San Antonio, Toronto, and Oklahoma City, Denver, Lakers.

0

287.096 - 299.788 Gio

Well, this is what you guys talked about before you went away. After the All-Star break, things get very real in terms of the schedule. Now the Knicks are on those other teams' schedules, too. It's like, we've got to play the Knicks. I mean, it goes both ways.

301.931 - 303.312 Boomer

Opening night next year, what is it?

305.57 - 306.471 Jerry

What do you mean?

306.571 - 317.703 Boomer

I figured you were reading all the games. I figured we'd get to next year. Top five, what did they open on the road or at home? Or is it like an out-of-country spot? Knicks, Pistons, and Brazil. Yeah, Australia.

320.086 - 327.434 Gio

The U.S. women's hockey team had themselves quite the day, and they were trailing late. Got the game-tying goal with the goalie pulled, then an overtime.
