And now let's get started.

CJ McCullum trolls the Knicks.

The worst part of losing is that New York has to wait until Thursday to get a game back.

That means everyone will be talking about this loss until then, including New York's

new villain, CJ McCullum.

Shout out to New York basketball on the app X for giving us this following information.

This question come from NBA insider with the New York Daily News, Kristen Winfield.

According to him, he asked CJ McCullum this following question, it looked like you were

maybe intentionally, maybe not, but that matchup against Jalen.

Did you like what you had in those one-on-one scenarios?

CJ McCullum said, what you think?

And then he responded with yeah, and then CJ, he also responded with yeah.

And as if those comments weren't bad enough, after the game, CJ also trolled the Knicks.

This is what CJ McCullum posted right after the win against New York.

He posted the following car, car, see ya in the A.

And he posted this with images from game two.

For now, New York has to deal with this.

But CJ, I promise you, you will regret saying everything that you just said.

Many times CJ talks, nonsense starts flowing out.

And this time, it's no different.

CJ, congratulations, you won game two, you stole home court.

You got that one game that you needed to win.

But I said Knicks in five.

You know what that means?

That means that the Knicks in order to win in five games, need to lose one.

Now admittedly, I thought that loss was going to happen in Atlanta.

But you know what?

Once again, congratulations, you got that win in New York.

But let me tell you something, everything that you're saying right now, New York will

remember it.

And they're going to use it as motivation to take game three.

You can keep talking, all you're doing is adding more fuel to that fire.

And if that's what you want, keep on going because I promise you, the next time you

will not enjoy the result.

But I can't lie game two, watching that game, experiencing that game.

I was absolutely frustrated.

And it wasn't only me, Josh Hart is frustrated too.

Shout out to NBA insider with the New York Daily News, Christian Winfield, for giving

us this following information.

According to him, Josh Hart said the following after game two's loss, according to Hart,

we've been in this situation before.

Obviously, everyone is frustrated with this loss.

And we're going to go into game three with great attention to detail and a great focus

for a full 48 minutes.

We've got high character guys who respond well.

But Josh Hart, he wasn't done.

He called it exactly what it was, New York giving away games.

According to Hart, this was a game we should have won.

And in the playoffs, you can't give away games.

So we've all got to make sure we are locked in, watch the film of it, get better, and

go in and battle for game three.

And one of the biggest changes Josh Hart wants to see from this next team come game three

is Carl Anthony Towns being involved more in the offense.

Shout out to Ian Bagley, an NBA insider with SNY for giving us this following information.

According to him, normally players get up and head home after their post game interviews.

But Josh Hart, he stared straight ahead with a look of frustration and bewilderment

that reflected the magnitude of what just happened on the court.

And Hart was asked about Towns in the fourth quarter.

He made it clear that it would be one of several things the Knicks would look at ahead of game

three.

According to Josh Hart, we have to make sure he's more involved, find him on mismatches,

put him in action, and make sure we use his skill and his gravity to take our advantage.

That's something we will look at the film and be better with.

If there's one thing about Josh Hart that I absolutely love is him calling it a hundred

percent, telling everyone exactly what it is.

You can't give away these games.

That's correct.

He's frustrated.

The entire team is frustrated.

He sat there after his interview was over, didn't say anything, and just looked ahead.

Absolutely frustrated, exactly how you should feel when you lose a winnable game.

But even more than that.

And this is the part that I love.

He recognizes the next weaknesses, what their advantages are, and what they need to play

toward.

And Carl Anthony Towns, his involvement on offense.

That's one of the main things the Knicks needs to correct going into game three.

And Josh Hart, he absolutely agrees.

He said it.

And there's no way to look past that when Carl Anthony Towns is on.

He's included in the offense early and often.

This next team looks unbeatable because towns he keeps that same level of impact.

Maybe it gets even better throughout the course of the game.

But if he's only going to that impact in the second half in the third quarter, maybe

in the fourth quarter, then you're losing one half of carl Anthony towns and that's

not enough.

You need to play 48 minutes with carl Anthony towns involved.

And I said it in a previous video.

This is on towns Jalen Brunson and Mike Brown, all of them played a part in what happened

in game to Brunson shooting 26 shots, not really passing the ball that much, playing

hero ball to close out the fourth.

That didn't help the next carl Anthony towns knowing it's a playoff game, not demanding

the ball, not telling players to clear out.

He's at fault two and Mike Brown, him not using the timeouts correctly, the incorrect

rotations, not getting carl Anthony towns in position.

So the next can take advantage of his size and who was on him because we all saw the

game.

So we all know that in certain situations, he had a smaller player on him nine times out

of 10.

That player was Jonathan Kaminga and that's one of the main reason towns needed the ball

because in that situation, that mismatch towns is probably winning it each and every time,

but he needs to get the ball.

If he's not getting the ball, then those mismatches, they mean nothing.

New York, they need to do better in game three.

And by the sounds of it, they're just as frustrated as all of us.

That means they're motivated.

And that means in game three, we will see a better version of this team.

We need to and shout out the channel sponsor fan duel America's number one sports book

for giving us this updated information and these latest odds on who's going to win the

NBA finals.

And after the next loss game to their odds at winning a championship absolutely drop.

Let's take a look.

Okay, see is on top.

They're now at minus 120.

The best, the favorites right now are the Thunder right after them are the San Antonio Spurs

and they're at plus 550.

Then you have the Boston Celtics.

They're at plus 600.

Then the Cleveland Cavaliers plus 1200, the Denver Nuggets plus 1800, the Detroit Pistons

plus 2000 and the New York Knicks rounding out this list are now at 2200.

Those are their odds to win the NBA finals.

If you are keeping up with this, they used to be near where Detroit was, but now they

fall in 200 points, losing in the post season, it matters, especially for your odds.

The thing about odds are they can change just as quickly as they drop.

And that's what New York really needs to focus on.

It doesn't matter who believes New York will get all the way to the NBA finals.

Because if that mattered at all, New York would have even more pressure headed into this

post season, but they don't need that.

They don't need the pressure of Vegas because Vegas never believed in New York, even if

they won game two, their odds, they might not be that much better than the odds they have

right now.

So nobody should worry about that.

All the Knicks need to do is to continue winning.

If they continue winning, those odds, they'll shoot all the way back up.

I know that and you know that, but we can talk about it.

I don't want to talk about it.

I want to be about it.

I want to see the actions and all the changes the Knicks need to make for game three.

And I'm telling you, changes, they need to happen.

We need to see better rotations, better communication, better defense, better involvement of our

all stars in Jalen Bunsen and Carl Anthony Towns.

Make your free throws.

Make your free throws.

You know what?

Nobody leaves practice.

No one until each and every player makes 100 free throws each because leaving points

on the board is the way you lose games.

Game two, they lost for a number of reasons, but missing free throws, that was at the top

of the list.

I never want to see that again.

New York after game two, they need to use everything that they heard after the game.

CJ McCullum, trolling New York and everything they felt after the game.

They need to use that as motivation so they can come out in game three and absolutely

destroy the hearts because right now that's what everyone wants to see.

Game three.

We're gonna see a new Nick's team, a more focused Nick's team and that team they will win.

But what about you guys?

What do you think about the Nick's new villain, CJ McCullum, calling out the Nick's, trolling

them and saying this following message, car car, see ya in the A.

I would love to hear from you.
