00:00 Four points spread in favor of New York back inside Madison Square Garden.

00:08 The over-under now up to 2-0-3 and a hook.

00:12 If New York, two part question for you, if New York clinches the series tonight, how

00:17 do the Knicks get it done if Philly forces a game six back in the city of brotherly love,

00:23 how do the 76ers survive?

00:26 Well for the Knicks, what they have to do is continue to frustrate Joel Embiid.

00:30 Joel Embiid, I feel like at times, is more willing to look for foul calls than to play

00:35 his game.

00:36 So to me, I think that's the key.

00:39 And you saw Tibbs kind of do something on Tibbs like he came out of his normal defensive

00:45 stuff because of Mitchell Robinson.

00:47 He had OG in and OB back him to guard him.

00:50 OG, precious, did a great job of frustrating Joel Embiid, particularly in that fourth quarter.

00:55 So listen, you're not going to get 47 out of Brunson.

00:58 You know what, you would hope that Josh Hart is somewhat better than he was in game number

01:02 four, although he had been good the first three games.

01:05 I want people to keep looking at a guy like a Deuce McBride, where you can get his over

01:09 threes at one and a half.

01:12 This is someone that's hit this nine in the last 15, three out of four, five out of eight

01:17 since the trade of Barrett and Quickly.

01:19 So look at someone like Miles McBride, not scared of the moment.

01:24 And with even Chancel struggling, he gets going.

01:27 Flip side, guys, listen, Tobias Harris, he can't be any worse, right?

01:36 Like I mean, and it's just the way, 34 million, Don, I'm sorry, I'm not trying to get you

01:41 all fired up, but he's got to give you guys something.

01:44 He's got to give something and he's got to be aggressive.

01:47 He's got to look for his shot.

01:49 Besides that, you can't do that.

01:50 You got to get more out of Batum.

01:52 But the problem is you need Batum to defend.

01:54 Tobias Harris must be better.
