And now let's get started.
0:46
CJ McCullum trolls the Knicks.
0:49
The worst part of losing is that New York has to wait until Thursday to get a game back.
0:56
That means everyone will be talking about this loss until then, including New York's
1:02
new villain, CJ McCullum.
1:05
Shout out to New York basketball on the app X for giving us this following information.
1:11
This question come from NBA insider with the New York Daily News, Kristen Winfield.
1:17
According to him, he asked CJ McCullum this following question, it looked like you were
1:24
maybe intentionally, maybe not, but that matchup against Jalen.
1:29
Did you like what you had in those one-on-one scenarios?
1:33
CJ McCullum said, what you think?
1:36
And then he responded with yeah, and then CJ, he also responded with yeah.
1:42
And as if those comments weren't bad enough, after the game, CJ also trolled the Knicks.
1:49
This is what CJ McCullum posted right after the win against New York.
1:55
He posted the following car, car, see ya in the A.
2:00
And he posted this with images from game two.
2:04
For now, New York has to deal with this.
2:07
But CJ, I promise you, you will regret saying everything that you just said.
2:13
Many times CJ talks, nonsense starts flowing out.
2:17
And this time, it's no different.
2:20
CJ, congratulations, you won game two, you stole home court.
2:26
You got that one game that you needed to win.
2:29
But I said Knicks in five.
2:31
You know what that means?
2:33
That means that the Knicks in order to win in five games, need to lose one.
2:39
Now admittedly, I thought that loss was going to happen in Atlanta.
2:45
Once again, congratulations, you got that win in New York.
2:49
But let me tell you something, everything that you're saying right now, New York will
2:56
And they're going to use it as motivation to take game three.
3:00
You can keep talking, all you're doing is adding more fuel to that fire.
3:05
And if that's what you want, keep on going because I promise you, the next time you
3:11
will not enjoy the result.
3:13
But I can't lie game two, watching that game, experiencing that game.
3:20
I was absolutely frustrated.
3:22
And it wasn't only me, Josh Hart is frustrated too.
3:27
Shout out to NBA insider with the New York Daily News, Christian Winfield, for giving
3:32
us this following information.
3:34
According to him, Josh Hart said the following after game two's loss, according to Hart,
3:41
we've been in this situation before.
3:44
Obviously, everyone is frustrated with this loss.
3:49
And we're going to go into game three with great attention to detail and a great focus
3:56
for a full 48 minutes.
3:58
We've got high character guys who respond well.
4:02
But Josh Hart, he wasn't done.
4:04
He called it exactly what it was, New York giving away games.
4:11
According to Hart, this was a game we should have won.
4:15
And in the playoffs, you can't give away games.
4:18
So we've all got to make sure we are locked in, watch the film of it, get better, and
4:25
go in and battle for game three.
4:28
And one of the biggest changes Josh Hart wants to see from this next team come game three
4:34
is Carl Anthony Towns being involved more in the offense.
4:39
Shout out to Ian Bagley, an NBA insider with SNY for giving us this following information.
4:46
According to him, normally players get up and head home after their post game interviews.
4:52
But Josh Hart, he stared straight ahead with a look of frustration and bewilderment
4:59
that reflected the magnitude of what just happened on the court.
5:03
And Hart was asked about Towns in the fourth quarter.
5:07
He made it clear that it would be one of several things the Knicks would look at ahead of game
5:14
According to Josh Hart, we have to make sure he's more involved, find him on mismatches,
5:21
put him in action, and make sure we use his skill and his gravity to take our advantage.
5:28
That's something we will look at the film and be better with.
5:32
If there's one thing about Josh Hart that I absolutely love is him calling it a hundred
5:37
percent, telling everyone exactly what it is.
5:41
You can't give away these games.
5:46
The entire team is frustrated.
5:48
He sat there after his interview was over, didn't say anything, and just looked ahead.
5:54
Absolutely frustrated, exactly how you should feel when you lose a winnable game.
6:00
But even more than that.
6:02
And this is the part that I love.
6:04
He recognizes the next weaknesses, what their advantages are, and what they need to play
6:11
And Carl Anthony Towns, his involvement on offense.
6:15
That's one of the main things the Knicks needs to correct going into game three.
6:20
And Josh Hart, he absolutely agrees.
6:24
And there's no way to look past that when Carl Anthony Towns is on.
6:28
He's included in the offense early and often.

This next team looks unbeatable because towns he keeps that same level of impact.
8:01
Maybe it gets even better throughout the course of the game.
8:05
But if he's only going to that impact in the second half in the third quarter, maybe
8:10
in the fourth quarter, then you're losing one half of carl Anthony towns and that's
8:17
You need to play 48 minutes with carl Anthony towns involved.
8:21
And I said it in a previous video.
8:24
This is on towns Jalen Brunson and Mike Brown, all of them played a part in what happened
8:30
in game to Brunson shooting 26 shots, not really passing the ball that much, playing
8:37
hero ball to close out the fourth.
8:40
That didn't help the next carl Anthony towns knowing it's a playoff game, not demanding
8:45
the ball, not telling players to clear out.
8:49
He's at fault two and Mike Brown, him not using the timeouts correctly, the incorrect
8:55
rotations, not getting carl Anthony towns in position.
9:00
So the next can take advantage of his size and who was on him because we all saw the
9:06
So we all know that in certain situations, he had a smaller player on him nine times out
9:12
That player was Jonathan Kaminga and that's one of the main reason towns needed the ball
9:17
because in that situation, that mismatch towns is probably winning it each and every time,
9:24
but he needs to get the ball.
9:27
If he's not getting the ball, then those mismatches, they mean nothing.
9:32
New York, they need to do better in game three.
9:35
And by the sounds of it, they're just as frustrated as all of us.
9:40
That means they're motivated.
9:42
And that means in game three, we will see a better version of this team.
9:47
We need to and shout out the channel sponsor fan duel America's number one sports book
9:54
for giving us this updated information and these latest odds on who's going to win the
10:00
And after the next loss game to their odds at winning a championship absolutely drop.
10:08
Okay, see is on top.
10:10
They're now at minus 120.
10:13
The best, the favorites right now are the Thunder right after them are the San Antonio Spurs
10:20
and they're at plus 550.
10:22
Then you have the Boston Celtics.
10:24
They're at plus 600.
10:26
Then the Cleveland Cavaliers plus 1200, the Denver Nuggets plus 1800, the Detroit Pistons
10:34
plus 2000 and the New York Knicks rounding out this list are now at 2200.
10:43
Those are their odds to win the NBA finals.
10:46
If you are keeping up with this, they used to be near where Detroit was, but now they
10:51
fall in 200 points, losing in the post season, it matters, especially for your odds.
10:59
The thing about odds are they can change just as quickly as they drop.
11:04
And that's what New York really needs to focus on.
11:07
It doesn't matter who believes New York will get all the way to the NBA finals.
11:12
Because if that mattered at all, New York would have even more pressure headed into this
11:18
post season, but they don't need that.
11:20
They don't need the pressure of Vegas because Vegas never believed in New York, even if
11:26
they won game two, their odds, they might not be that much better than the odds they have
11:32
So nobody should worry about that.
11:35
All the Knicks need to do is to continue winning.
11:38
If they continue winning, those odds, they'll shoot all the way back up.
11:42
I know that and you know that, but we can talk about it.
11:47
I don't want to talk about it.
11:48
I want to be about it.
11:50
I want to see the actions and all the changes the Knicks need to make for game three.
11:56
And I'm telling you, changes, they need to happen.
12:00
We need to see better rotations, better communication, better defense, better involvement of our
12:07
all stars in Jalen Bunsen and Carl Anthony Towns.
12:12
Make your free throws.
12:14
Make your free throws.
12:16
Nobody leaves practice.
12:18
No one until each and every player makes 100 free throws each because leaving points
12:25
on the board is the way you lose games.
12:29
Game two, they lost for a number of reasons, but missing free throws, that was at the top
12:36
I never want to see that again.
12:39
New York after game two, they need to use everything that they heard after the game.
12:45
CJ McCullum, trolling New York and everything they felt after the game.
12:51
They need to use that as motivation so they can come out in game three and absolutely
12:57
destroy the hearts because right now that's what everyone wants to see.
13:04
We're gonna see a new Nick's team, a more focused Nick's team and that team they will win.
13:10
But what about you guys?
13:12
What do you think about the Nick's new villain, CJ McCullum, calling out the Nick's, trolling
13:18
them and saying this following message, car car, see ya in the A.
13:24
Let me know how you feel about that in the comments section below guys because honestly,
13:30
