I am losing the ability to talk about these games with any sophistication. At this point, it's just pure emotion. Every game feels like it's short circuiting the analytical part of my brain. What is happening? The Knicks are two wins away from a championship.

I keep walking away from these games stunned, but maybe it's time to stop being surprised. This Knicks team is special. We touch on some of the offensive execution, but most of this episode is dedicated to what stood out defensively in Wednesday night's win.

I’d love to share my story as a Knicks fan in this episode.

This is so freaking surreal to me. Let's talk about it.

0:00 Intro

0:27 Recap & Thoughts

9:44 Quick Plug

10:16 Defensive Keys

18:47 Solving The Hart Stuff

24:14 Floor Reads Vs. Blitz

25:41 Bing Bong Game Ball (Starters): Mikal

28:17 Bing Bong Game Ball (Reserves): Shamet

NOTE: The final 3+ minutes of this episode got cut off, so here’s what was discussed at the end:

Landry Shamet gets the game ball off the bench. That’s now 15 game balls total and 4 this postseason. Shamet finished with 14 points, shot 4/5 from three, and added 3 assists. Not long ago, he was at home and battling for a roster spot with Malcolm Brogdon in camp. Incredible turnaround. Broke down Shamet’s shot-making, clutch buckets, and how his ability to create spacing one pass away/manipulate gap help has been huge. His point-of-attack defense on Donovan Mitchell was also remarkable.

Also mentioned briefly but was cut off:

• This has not really been a Mitchell Robinson series.

• Not much of a Clarkson or Alvarado type series either.

• Deuce McBride has had moments, but not loudly.

• Biggest impact has mostly been the starters + Shamet… as expected for the playoffs.

• And of course… Mike Brown.

Then looked ahead:

• Knicks going for the sweep tomorrow night in Cleveland.

Ended with trivia:

• When was the last time the Knicks won 10 regular season games in a row?
