00:00Carl Anthony Towns getting ready for his first playoff game as a member of the New York Knicks.
00:06Can't wait to hear that garden crowd for the first time in his career in the playoffs.
00:11It's special. You know, obviously for me, I've never had a playoff series in the garden.
00:16So being able to watch it on TV growing up and, you know, to see the crowd, you know,
00:24just let alone on a regular season game, they're special.
00:27So I can only imagine it's on another level in the playoffs.
00:31So it's our job to, you know, bring our best foot forward and do the best we can in front of our fans.
00:37And, you know, obviously you want to see wins as much as we do.
00:40So we're all in this together with the fans.
00:44So we're just going to go out there and do our best.
00:47Well, the problem I have is, is that this guy Cade Cunningham has torn them to shreds every time he plays them this year.
00:55He won three out of four games.
00:57He averaged over 31 points in those games.
01:00He's been unstoppable.
01:02They're a violent physical team.
01:04That's going to show up young, determined.
01:07Obviously they've changed so much.
01:10Having hard a ways helped them.
01:12And I think that, you know, they have guys that know, you know, I think Malik Beasley,
01:17they got guys that can flat out play.
01:19And no one on the Knicks has been able to figure out Cunningham at all in all four games.
01:27So I can't even fathom this numbers at seven, to be honest with you, when I saw it.
01:32Because, first of all, I said this yesterday.
01:36Look, they got a better record.
01:38Fine.
01:38And that means, you know, allegedly the Knicks beat teams that they're better than.
01:43They don't beat anybody that's better than them.
01:46So if you have a better record, Cavs, Celtics, Thunder, they can't beat any of those teams.
01:51But they beat teams that they have a better record than.
01:54Except they don't beat the Pistons.
01:57What is it about the Pistons that gets under their skin?
02:00I don't see how you can give them seven in this game.
02:03I really don't.
02:05Now, I think the Knicks, you know, the number in this series at four and a half, whatever it is.
02:11It's like 430, whatever it is.
02:13It's ridiculous.
02:14I think it's ridiculous.
02:15It's like it's spitting in the face of what Detroit has accomplished this year and bigger staff that they get zero respect that the series is already over before it starts.
02:26I they couldn't be further from the truth.
02:29I think this is going to be an absolute war and it's going to get real physical and testy.
02:35And the refs are going to be a part of this series as well.
02:38Guaranteed guaranteed and believe me, you, I watched every game they play.
02:45I've watched all those Pistons games.
02:48The Pistons give them problems.
02:50They don't have a better record, but they certainly have a better performance against the Knicks than just about any team in the East except the Celtics and Cavs.
02:58The third best team against the Knicks has been the Pistons.
03:00I mean, let's just get real here.
03:02You either ball or you don't.
03:04You know what you're doing.
03:05You watch this team.
03:06They give them nightmares.
03:08I think it's way too much, way too much gas.
03:14Seven's too much.
03:15I think the series price is ridiculous.
03:19I think the Knicks are going to win the series, but I think they're going to have a real hard fight on their hands with the Pistons throughout this entire thing.
03:27And that includes with the Pistons getting this seven here.
03:31I bet it goes to overtime.
03:32Game one.
03:33Game one.
03:34Hey, you get a good number for that.
03:36It's a game of the day.
03:37That's for sure.
03:38Very well could be.
03:40Flat seven right now and a 220 and a half.
03:42I'll take those points with the Pistons at the Garden in game number one.
03:48And I think they'll get a couple games off the Knicks here in the first round in this series.
