When you watch this Knicks team, they have always continued to find different ways to win, and they're playing at such a high level right now that I don't care who comes out of the West, they feel like they have a chance to not only knock 'em out every night, but maintain the same level of dominance that they've shown throughout this postseason.
Do you believe that the Knicks can, will win the championship?
No.
After I said all of that, I, I, I won't believe it until we're watching the parade go down in the middle of Manhattan and we see everybody all smiles all, all over the place.
I believe in Brunson fits, and I believe that he can be that guy.
I still have at least some hesitation, and I could look like a fool here in another couple weeks because of the way they've played, but I just feel like the Thunder and with Wemby and the Spurs, one of those teams is just at a higher point.
But maybe not.
I mean, two weeks ago I would've said, "The Knicks?
No way.
I know they're playing well, and I know Brunson is, unbelievable, but I don't think they have enough around him with consistency."
But even I am sitting there watching them going, "Geez," like when you start getting up and down the roster, I mean, Landry Shamet, I You start looking at guys, you're like, "What is going on here?"
And they're playing that well.
You have a team that has the most powerful thing, aside from talent, that you can have in the NBA or any other pro sport, and it's belief.
This is a group that believes they're that good now, and they believe they're gonna win this title.
So while I am sitting here going, "Eh, I'm still not sure," that they're not.
They think it can happen.
I just think that the Thunder and the Spurs, whoever comes out of that game, they still have a little bit more than the Knicks do.
But the Knicks have all the time now in this series and, and guys, all the rest, and I think that is crucial to go and knock off whoever they're gonna see soon
