What are the Knicks' chances against the Celtics?

Stephen A. Smith 0:00
My ears were caught recollecting. He said the Knicks suck. That's what I thought.
Juju Gotti 0:04
I don't think that's what he said. Your ears.
Stephen A. Smith 0:15
My big dog, salute to the stinkiest fan in the world, the Knicks. My dog, Josh Smith. What's happening, dog?
Juju Gotti 0:24
How you doing, man? This is low-key at W. They never even really noticed that, but they know now.
Stephen A. Smith 0:29
Man, how you feeling about these playoffs, bro? Jalen Branson, the cat that became damn near a tiger at this point. What you think, bro?
Juju Gotti 0:40
Yeah, I mean, the playoffs is unpredictable. Yeah. When you don't know the game. Because, you know, I called Minnesota getting rid of them Lakers. You know, everybody wasn't for that pick. But, you know, me, you, and Trisha did, the whole panel. So, you know, that's a W we took right there.
Stephen A. Smith 0:58
Yeah, that is a W. What you think for him to come up next with these Celtics versus Knicks? You feel me? Because I ain't going to lie to you. Knicks looking good right now, but it's just something about that Knicks franchise that always had me thinking, y'all going to find a way to screw it up, man. What you thinking, bro? Tibbs looking at it like, bro, he beating them players, running them in the ground these days, bro. What you think? All right.
Juju Gotti 1:22
I really don't understand. And it's like we might have to break our team down into like a football situation where we have a coach just for substitutions and a rotation because Tibbs doesn't pay attention to that. And you see J.J. Ruddick went the other day leaving all five starters in the whole second half. What are y'all doing? What are y'all doing?

What is going wrong with JJ Redick?

Juju Gotti 1:44
Y'all getting paid a salary and y'all just not doing nothing. Like go out there and be superheroes is what they asking of them. And that's why they losing in five and four in some cases.
Stephen A. Smith 1:55
Right. Meanwhile, Frank Vogel get fired quick. Darvin Ham get fired quick. Y'all bring these boys in because they what? Darlings, media darlings. And look what they do.
Juju Gotti 2:06
That's what I said. I said, if Darman got the boot, then J.J. Redick deserved the other one. You ain't do nothing and you got a top three player.
Stephen A. Smith 2:16
Right. Storming out the interview.
Juju Gotti 2:19
Along with LeBron. And, you know, I was looking good during the season and losing five is a coach job, I think.
Stephen A. Smith 2:26
Yeah.
Juju Gotti 2:27
Well, we know why JJ got the job.
Stephen A. Smith 2:29
Yeah.
Juju Gotti 2:30
But really, as the Lakers, though, like, how do you hire someone that's never been a coach nowhere ever?
Stephen A. Smith 2:35
Right.

How do playoffs impact team strategies?

Juju Gotti 2:36
Because he talks. He has a nice vocabulary. Because at the end of the day, I'm Luka Doncic and you JJ Redick and you telling me, hey, man, come on, you got to give us more effort. Yeah. I'm going to look you up and down like you ever had 30? You ever averaged 30? Don't talk to me. Yeah. And that's how I think it's going to go. That's why somebody, I be feeling like somebody like Gilbert should be a coach because I could teach you how to be a sub. I've been in them trenches as the man. JJ, you can't talk to me like that. You don't say to me. Talk to Dalton, connect one of them.
Stephen A. Smith 3:12
Yeah, that boy was a pure shooter, but that's all he was.
Juju Gotti 3:15
Yeah, exactly. When they say you pure something, that means you ain't do much of nothing else.
Stephen A. Smith 3:21
Damn. At least my boy got the slit back hair down pat, you feel me? At least it ain't going no down wear. Moving on, bro. I got to say, Knicks versus Celtics, dog. I imagine the Celtics, like, it's not going to be as easy as I thought because that Magic skit series got me a little... I don't know. It was certain games where the magic was looking a little too much at certain times.
Juju Gotti 3:42
What's not going to be as easy as you do it?
Stephen A. Smith 3:45
Being the Knicks ass. I thought it was going to be maybe like, what, 4-5 sweep, damn near a gentleman sweep. But now y'all might push them to six if y'all play right.
Juju Gotti 3:57
With Giannis out, right?
Stephen A. Smith 3:59
Yeah.
Juju Gotti 4:00
Who has the best big left in the East?

Who is the best player left in the Eastern Conference?
