00:00The Knicks beat up on the Grizzlies. I mean, 143-106. I mean, everyone was getting involved at the Garden last night on MSG.
00:10Saturday against Sacramento, but this is a much better one. A pass inside! Deuce McBride! What a slam!
00:20Listen, I have told you on a number of occasions that Deuce McBride, Payne, Shammock can shoot the pill.
00:28So, they have this small bench, and their big end of the bench is awful. Like, Sims to me, I'd rather have Phil Sims playing than Jericho Sims for the Knicks.
00:40Literally, old Phil. And I like Phil. I would rather have Phil playing for the Knicks.
00:46But their short end, their small guys can all shoot. I think Deuce McBride is the three waiting to happen.
00:51When Shammock gets going, he can shoot. I don't think he's got anything else.
00:55And I actually think Payne, despite being the ugliest man in the league, he can shoot with that funky three release of his.
01:01So, you get those three guys going. Like, last night, they didn't have to use their starters at all in the fourth.
01:08They were kicking their ass so badly that they just went with that short bench and all those poppers.
01:14These guys can pop from outside. They mean business.
01:17I'm seeing positive signs from the Knicks bench, Mike, where that has been my issue with the Knicks all year long.
01:26You cannot win an NBA title with five guys. You have to have a bench.
01:32You cannot go seven game series, seven game series, after one, after the next, and expect to survive in the NBA.
01:39They always lose because they run out of gas. You've got to have, you know, two sets of starters.
01:46You have to have two groups that can ball and get burned. It's an absolute must.
01:51Like, I'm playing last night, right? And I shouldn't be playing in a 45-minute NBA court.
01:57So, I played in, like, eight-minute stretches, and then I'd come out for three minutes and chill, go back in, and start filling it up again.
02:04You've got to let these guys like Cat, Brunson, all of them, Hart, you just cannot rely on them to play nonstop minutes for 81 games, whatever it is,
02:14and then go play in the playoffs and play these deep series. It'll kill you.
02:19Can't have it. Look, they ran out of gas in the second round last year against Indiana.
02:25They ran out of gas in that series. Guys getting hurt, etc.
