Chapter 2: What happened in last night's Knicks game against the Cavaliers?
In that situation, after he's hit three probably, I would say, now you've got a really good chance to continue to win the game, whether you start scoring on the other end or not. You had to slow that. And the fact that they didn't really do it, and they started that run, you've got Struess and Dean Wade on the bench. Those are the two guys that the Cavs prefer to guard Brunson.
for different reasons, but in Wade at the top of the list, and they're over on the bench while this starts. All right, well, you might want to think, forget about whatever you're trying to do offensively to close the game. You've got to stop this situation, and the best way to do it is to get a different defender on them, or...
You've got to talk through the fact that you don't need to switch all of those ball screens. You didn't need to do that. Some of those are unnecessary switches 35, 40 feet from the basket. You don't need to switch it. Brunson's not even trying to go anywhere yet, and you passively hand him off to James Harden. You could have addressed that in a timeout.
So I wish there was a better answer than I like to hold on to him. Because if ever a situation dictated you needed one, it was that situation as that game was slipping away. Talking to Tim Legler, ESPN lead NBA analyst. There are some losses that are just a loss. There are other ones that are maybe one and a half games. And that one felt like that's a one and a half games.
Now, I don't know if it helps or hurts Cleveland that you get one day off and then now we're back at the Garden tomorrow night. Does that help or hurt Cleveland when you're trying to move on from this embarrassment? I honestly don't know that it's beneficial or works against you. Either way, what I know is this.
For the Cavaliers to win the series, they have to win a game in Madison Square Garden. The Knicks don't have to win on the road. The Cavs do. And they had a 22-point lead with seven minutes to go. You're not going to be in that position again. So for you not to close that one, you're right. It's like not every loss carries the same weight. You say that about a lot of things.
They're not all the same. And that one is not the same. For instance, that's not the same as what happened to the Thunder. That's not the same. Losing a game at home like that, when you're battling the entire time, the fact that Thunder are the ones that erased the deficit, you still end up losing the game. Okay. Thunder feel like they're the better team.
Let's see their response in game two tonight for the Cavs to have this team coming off of that long layoff. and you've got them cornered like this, you've got to close the deal. So definitely this loss carries more weight than just a loss because you have a feeling the Knicks now are going to have a much different offense in the first half of game two. And now where are the Cavs going to be?
So that's just one you've got to close the deal, Dan. If you want a legitimate shot to win the series, you cannot blow that lead. Okay, but what do you do with James Harden? Not to pin all of this on James Harden, but if he's going to be guarding Jalen Brunson, we have a problem. Well, look, some of it I'm wondering.

Chapter 3: How did Tim Legler analyze the Knicks' comeback strategy?
They're changing the way they view their ability to do it in the first place without even probing it. That is when you're talking about a different level defensively of impact and how you're affecting what teams even try to accomplish offensively, much less actually do it. I'm trying to get somebody to work this in. Shots discouraged, like a new category. There you go. Shots discouraged.
SD, shots discouraged, because you can see that. And listen, with the advent of AI and everything else, we're going to get to the point where we're going to be watching the game on TV and we're going to have probes and sensors on guys' heads where you can see thought bubbles. And now you're really going to know what a guy was thinking about in the moment. It's coming, Dan.
It's coming in the next 10 years. And you're going to be able to see what I'm talking about in terms of what guys are looking at on the weak side of the floor when he's out there. and looks like would be an impossible amount of distance to cover to get to the rim before you do, and now you're rethinking that.
And so, therefore, it affects the flow of the ball offensively and the natural order of what's next for your team. Any celebrities at the Garden want to talk basketball prior to the game when they see you? Oh, God, yeah, yeah.
I mean, Ben Stiller obviously is on camera a lot, and because of our proximity to when we're starting the game and where he sits, he's like right there when we're doing our open. So, yeah, to be able to go have a conversation with him, have a conversation with Tracy Morgan, it's fun, man. Spike Lee, obviously. These guys live it, love it. They're not just showing up to be seen, man.
These guys that I just mentioned, they love it. They love the Knicks, and they actually know what they're watching, and they can talk it at a high level, man. It's a lot of fun. It's one of the really cool perks of the job, particularly at the Garden. There's no place quite like that for the big games, no environment like that in basketball, period. I got to work this in. J. Kidd fired in Dallas.
Feels like they're trying to wipe clean any remnants of the Luka Doncic era here. Why was J. Kidd fired? Yeah, it does feel like that to me as well. I just think that you have a new set of eyes now on the organization. They have a generational player that they drafted a year ago in Cooper Flagg. He is a guy that you're going to build your entire franchise around. He's that good.
He's going to be that good on both ends. He's the guy that – he's the leader. Now you build around him, and I just think you're right. Now that they've moved on from Anthony Davis – And they wanted to get just a new perspective on what they want to build going forward. And that's why Jason Kidd is no longer there. Jason Kidd will be coaching in the league again. There's no doubt in my mind.
But I think this is what this is. It's a reset. It's a whiteboard. Let's start over, and there's one name on it, and it's flag at the top. And now we've got to rethink everything about what we want to do going forward because they think this could be the next guy that spends 20 years in a Mavericks uniform like Dirk Nowitzki. Great stuff, Timmy. Thank you. Have fun tomorrow night.

Chapter 4: What coaching decisions were critical in the Knicks vs. Cavaliers game?
It's interesting that they said they're trying to raise $250 million because I'm like, what does that cover?
Like three golfers for the year? I mean, their operating costs per year were like close in the neighborhood of a billion dollars. So I don't know how the math adds up for that to keep them afloat. Well, how do you keep Rom? DeChambeau's contract, I believe, is up. Oh, by the way, Bryson DeChambeau had this to say on a podcast about the moon landing.
Do you believe they actually played golf on the moon?
Oh, I don't. Conspiracy theory, I don't know.
Look, Elon says we've definitely gone there, so I tend to go that route because he's the man that knows quite a bit about all that. Artemis just went around the moon.
So I do believe if we spent a lot of our resources like they say we did, I think we did. I don't think the footage is real, but I think we did go to the moon. Okay, that's Bryson DeChambeau on the Katie Miller podcast. Thanks we got there. We just may have staged the golfing portion of the program. Yes, Paul?
Yeah, I don't think Bryson was kidding. And it's February 1971. Apollo 14 astronaut Alan Shepard became the first and only person to play golf on the moon. And there's this great video of him. Yeah, it appears real.
Oh, it is real. I know. It's not staged. Oh, boy. Well, you have people who don't even think we landed on the moon. I'm like, okay. But then they might be flat earthers as well. Yes, Dylan. That is sort of like the entry-level conspiracy theory is the moot. That and maybe JFK, or that's your kind of rookie-level stuff. But I'm always fascinated by it.
I love conspiracy theories, not because I believe in them, but they're fascinating, and even more fascinating are the people who believe in them.
