Welcome to the best of the week for What's Right with Nick Wright. The best takes and moments from this week on the show. Enjoy!
All right. So you predicted this. The Knicks were going to go into San Antonio and steal game one against the Spurs. They close it out on an 11-0 run. Shaky start for Brunson, not just from an efficiency standpoint, but banged up the knee injury, the ankle injury. And despite that, he does what he's been doing since he's joined the Knicks. And that's become, you know, the most clutch player in the NBA, 13 points in the fourth quarter. And so they continue this hottest streak in playoff history. What about, Nick, how the Knicks won this game made you feel even more confident in your series prediction of them taking it in six games?
Well, I think they're better. And neither team played perfect basketball last night. Both teams' best players were inefficient. I think there are only two players in that game who leave that game feeling awesome about how they played. carl anthony towns and josh hart and towns is you know the second best player on the knicks josh hart might be the third most important player on the knicks on any given night but everybody else feels like they left a little meat on the bone so to speak but here's why i feel so good about picking the knicks to win the championship That game was tied, Ty, going into the fourth quarter. And my confidence level that, oh, it's tied going into the fourth? Well, of course Brunson's going to come through was about as high as it's been for any player in the league this decade.
I was not more confident. Not Giannis in his championship run. Not Joker in his championship run and other great playoff runs. Not Ant on any of his runs to the conference finals. Not Shea. Not Tatum or Brown. Not Steph the year the Warriors won the title. There has not been a guy. That going into a close or tied fourth quarter in the playoffs, I felt as confident as I did last night that Brunson, and he wasn't playing well, would come through since LeBron in 2020. Yeah. It's the most confident I've felt since then. And I guess Jimmy Butler also in that series, you kind of felt like he would come through as well. That... there were so many key moments that i actually i at some point i'm gonna do a little bit of the play-by-play and there there are a lot of big picture things we're gonna get to the wimby stuff we're gonna get to the cat stuff um but the knicks just never this sounds so cliche stop believing
