00:00We have to play Jalen Brown, of course, on the New York-Boston rivalry.
00:04Yeah, it's a great stage for basketball, you know, just all the history between, you know, Boston and New York.
00:10It's excellent to be able to live or to relive in that.
00:15So I don't take that for granted, you know.
00:18I think a lot of people will be excited watching this series just because of the history.
00:22So, you know, it's our job to come out and put on a great performance and take care of business.
00:28But, you know, it's definitely something to look back and just enjoy, you know, the platform and, you know, that basketball kind of delivers at this stage in the playoffs.
00:40Boston versus New York, it don't get too much better than that.
00:42There is no history.
00:44Let me tell you something.
00:46Like, let's just stop for a second.
00:50The Pistons have such a better rivalry with the Celtics.
00:54It's not even funny.
00:55It would have been way better if it were Detroit and Boston, where they actually have had gigantic wars over the years, literally fistfights in playoff games.
01:09The Knicks have no history with the Boston Celtics.
01:12What history?
01:14What, Mike?
01:15What history is he talking about?
01:18What, did they play in the East?
01:20Okay, whatever.
01:21But they don't have any history with them.
01:25I already said this.
01:27Like, one team has 18 championships.
01:30And one team has one banner and a bunch of guys' numbers retired.
01:34They got more hockey players' numbers retired in that building than they do basketball.
01:39Am I wrong?
01:40The Rolling Stones have more juice at Madison Square Garden.
01:44Billy Joel has more juice at Madison Square Garden than the Knicks do.
01:49Stop.
01:49With all this Knicks juice.
01:51I mean, stop.
01:53This is the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
01:56Sixth time the Knicks and the Celtics have played each other in the playoffs since 1980.
02:00That's the full 45 years of my life.
02:03It's only the sixth time they've played in the playoffs.
02:05And five of those six have been in the first round.
02:08So, they barely ever play each other outside of the first round.
02:11Usually, one team's a lot better than the other one in the first round.
02:14Now, they played a lot in the 60s and 70s.
02:17As you know, they played a lot back in the day.
02:19That doesn't count.
02:20But, you know, they have, the last 40 years, there has not been much, you know, Nick Celtic playoff history.
02:27Listen, so, the 60s and 70s, the only thing left, I mean, they've all died off.
02:34Dick Barnett died.
02:35They're all dead.
02:36The only one left standing is Clyde.
02:38Okay?
02:39So, let's calm down with all the going back in history.
02:44Because, first of all, no one watching this network was alive to see it.
02:51And there's absolutely no one alive that watched it.
02:55Like, it's 60s and 70s.
02:57Are you kidding me?
02:58What?
02:59Who's watching Knicks games in the 60s around here?
03:02No one.
03:0370s.
03:04No one.
03:0580s.
03:06No one.
03:0890s, we can start talking.
03:102000s.
03:11Since 2000, the Knicks have been an abortion.
03:14Have they not?
03:16Yes.
03:16Like, let's stop here.
03:18I mean, let's, who's kidding who here?
03:21Like, have I not lived here for 30 years and watched them lose every time?
03:25What are we talking about here?
03:29As far as tonight goes, another big number.
03:32Don't let Spike Lee fool you.
03:34He's full of Shaq, okay?
03:36Your boy over here knows nothing.
03:39All he does is get front row seats and watch the Knicks lose.
03:43That's exactly what happens.
03:44Nine points and 213 for the total tonight in Boston.
03:51Can they cover the nine tonight?
03:53Can they cover the nine?
03:55Taking the Knicks?
03:56No.
03:57I have to take Boston, but I hate them so much.
04:00As you know, I will not bet on the Boston Celtics ever.
04:05Ever.
04:06You know, I hate the Knicks.
04:08I don't root for the Knicks even though I'm in New York.
04:10I don't like the Knicks.
04:11Oh, God.
04:12It's even worse, this guy.
04:13Turn it on me.
04:14I am, but I'm taking the Knicks with the nine tonight.
04:19I don't like the Knicks with the Knicks with the Knicks with the Knicks.
