Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
Oh, man. Yeah, his neck got to hurt, right?
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
The jacket's fire. On top of the chain there.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
I don't know how I could see it. I would have never thought about that, but I could definitely see that. Right?
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
Oh, no, I missed that one.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
Oh, that's got to be disgusting in there. Disgusting. Just, oh.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
It's going to end up looking like the villain from the last Captain America movie, the latest one.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
Oh, really? I just picked a random year and it was not that year.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
That's exactly right. You got them all right. 93, 94, 95, 98, 99, 2000, 2013, 2024, and now this year.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
Exactly, right? Like, they had them in there. They got to do something like that.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
Because the casual fans like before, oh, I'm so tired. The NBA is boring. The Cavs and the Warriors play every year. Now here we are. We got different people in the finals all the time, new champions, all this great stuff. How do you feel about it?
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
What's your opinion on it? I'm exactly the same because I just love basketball. So I'm here for whatever. But yeah, I think it's cool. But you hear I hear it all the time. Like if I go to the gym, they're like, oh, man, I wish that we had this. I'm like, weren't you just complaining about this a couple years ago?
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
But anyways, who would you want to see win? Say the Nuggets lose Sunday, right? Who is the guy you're like, oh my gosh, they get to win a chip. I've been thinking a lot about this. I don't know who I want to win more. You got Shea, you got Ant, you got Jalen Brunson, and you got Halliburton. And I feel like all those guys... People love them.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
I would love to see any one of them win a ring, but I don't know if there's one that's like right above the other ones, you know?
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
It was it was real ugly. The game started off, like you said, 26-20 in the first quarter. You're feeling pretty confident if you're the Celtics. You're like, well, let's let's go ahead and take one more. You know, let's let's go ahead and do it for our guy, Jason Tatum. Jalen Brown seemed like he was a guy that came to play, even though the rest of the Celtics couldn't necessarily hit a shot.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
I think my last note with that is just this might be one of the rare times in NBA history. There's no villain, I feel like. I feel like all these teams are kind of liked, Like, I guess the most villainous team might be the Knicks just because they're the Knicks. But at the same time, people love the Knicks right now. Like, they're kind of an underdog in a way. And the Pacers are.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
And the Timberwolves are. Like, even the Thunder, they gripe about Shea getting to the free throw line. But there's still a young, like, lovable team. There's no, oh, man, I don't want this guy to win. There's no none of that. You know what I mean?
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
It definitely feels like it.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
It's been such a great playoff so far, and I keep saying that to everybody. They're like, there's been a lot of blowouts. I'm like, yeah, but besides that, it's been really good basketball.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
Yeah, a couple years ago there was like... So many blowouts. I don't remember if it was the 22 playoffs.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
Jalen Brown was a guy putting the ball on the floor, getting to his spots, looking like Jalen Brown, looking like, OK, I'm going to do this. I'm the man. I'm the guy. And that quickly faded away. As of the time we started, he was 8 for 20. I know he's out of the game by the time we got on this podcast, but just wasn't able to keep it up at all and fouled out of the game.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
They definitely need him. And so this is a strain, his hamstring, right?
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
So what was Curry's?
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
Exactly. So, yeah, Steph Curry is out for an entire series, but he's he's like, maybe I can go. I don't know. And hamstrings are so tricky. You hear him talk about it all the time. You never know exactly how it's going to be. I don't know. Like they definitely need him. I don't know if he can go out there and play on one leg or what, but that's tough. That's a tough blow.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
Yeah, and I know you can't really bet on that. Like, Michael Porter Jr. right now, man.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
He's so banged up. And then, like, if AG's not there, like you're saying, you're going to have to play one of those two guys or Westbrook more minutes.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
They're made for game sevens.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
That's right. We got to find a way into MSG, bro. We got to find a way in.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
We got to be hitting up every single contact we got.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
It just speaks to how the Knicks have been the entire series. They've been ready to go. Even us on the podcast, right? We previewed it, all of us together, and we're all saying Celtics in five, maybe Celtics in six, and I think the Knicks took that personally, like the Jordan meme, because... They've been ready the whole time.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
Every time you see game one and two, the Celtics up big, and they take their foot off the gas by continuously shooting threes, missing 45, missing 30. The Knicks are ready to go. They don't care. They take the punches. They roll with them, and then they come back. They come up swinging. They knock you out. Well, the Celtics, they finally get their one.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
They get their two with Jason Tatum going down. I thought maybe they have a little bit more fight in them tonight, but... I guess I guess you maybe underestimate the leader that Jason Tatum kind of is on that team or just how not ready the Celtics were to play. Like they are trying to come in and repeat. But Porzingis has not been good this entire series.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
Missoula a little hesitant to make some changes. You know, he went with Cornette last game and benched Porzingis. And that was a big, big thing. But. We didn't see anything else from tonight.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
Yeah, because I think for the Knicks, with everything that's happened with them forever, just being a Knicks organization, you can't go back to Boston. If they find a way to get back to Boston... That's ugly. They flub that. Right. But if you come out here and you have your killer mentality, you're like, OK, you got your emotional win in front of your crowd. But we have to do that tonight.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
And like you said, the New York crowd was insane and they definitely fed off of that. You know, like they're they're they're feeding each other with the energy. So. We talk about the Celtics all year about their entire team and how they're supposed to show up. And we're like, well, maybe this team's too good. Look at how stacked they are. None of them showed up in this series at all.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
Like you said, Przingis, where was he? He looks like... I don't even know. I can't even give you a comparison because he just did not show up at all. Obviously, Jason Tatum being hurt. Derek White usually becomes... Everybody's like, oh, he turns into Steph Curry in the playoffs. He has not been able to hit...
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
How you doing, Skeets?
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
Everything that they did, the math problem that we were so talking about the entire time, It was really ugly for them. So I don't know. I don't know what happens for now. And congratulations to the Knicks. Yeah. But it's rough, man.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
Man, when we talked about it earlier today, I'm like, yeah, I would be so happy to hop on and talk about how the Celtics are forcing the game seven. Maybe play the Zaza clip. We're going to game seven, baby. I was so hype and had to go to a little kid's birthday party earlier. I turned my phone on. I was like, I got to watch the game just in case. Yeah. Yeah, I turn my phone right back off.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
Yeah, I mean, they had to. And, you know, it's funny, you talk about Cat, you got to give him praise. You got to give him some high praise for this coming out party for him a little bit. Because it's like, in the playoffs before, we always get on him. He's one of those guys that were like, okay, you're here, do something. Yep. And he showed up in this series. Like, I'm really impressed with Cat.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
And it's so funny, him being traded for Julius Randle, another guy that is perennially shit on in the playoffs.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
he's amazing too like what who would have thought this was going to be such a win-win trade in the offseason when it happened because I'm sure on this show we were saying what is this and why are we doing this like there's no way and then you even see I don't know we're not talking about the Timberwolves but you see them on that side the way they played throughout the regular season even the Knicks how they played throughout the regular season against the Celtics nobody thought they would be here both of them in the conference finals look at us you know
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
That is my prediction already.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
Yeah. I mean, no, no other real notes from this one, man. Like they got blown out. They did not show up the way that you would expect them to show up for a team that's backs against the wall. But I guess, I guess maybe they tried their hardest. I can't even, I don't know.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
But Jason Tatum, like I said, all year long, we're talking about this starting five that they have and how amazing they are and the way that they shoot the ball, the way that they play defense, the way that they this, that. None of them. None of them showed up.
No Dunks
Immediate Reax | Knicks Destroy Celtics In Game 6, Advance To East Finals
And for the entire series, when you have two big leagues like that at home in the first two games and blow them in the exact same fashion back to back, there's no way we just the Celtics just won a championship last season. Everybody's picking them as a favorite again, and they cannot execute that way. I don't know. And then Jason Tatum being out of the lineup here.
