00:00When you look back on this playoff run, in the entirety of the New York Knicks season,
00:08how do you describe what you felt along the way?
00:13Euphoria and then pain and then appreciation.
00:18Euphoria for a team that this is probably the best Knicks team, and I would say the
00:22most loved Knicks team, let's be honest guys, since the mid-90s into the late 90s.
00:29Looking for what happened in game number seven and watching the team basically become a G-League
00:34team by the end of it, with guys that you never heard of playing big minutes.
00:39Guys like Alec Burch, who was terrible, but then had to step up and play for the team.
00:44But that appreciation for how much they fought, for the fact that, let's be honest guys, OJ
00:49Anovi had no business trying to play game seven.
00:53Josh Hart had no business trying to play game seven.
00:56Mitchell Robinson came back way too early and rolled his ankle on that, I would say
01:00probably cheap shot by Embiid.
01:02Julius Randle should have been out way earlier and stuck it out, Ben, because of the fact
01:08of him trying to play through pain.
01:10So to me, it's appreciation for this Knicks team, but it's an interesting spot for a team
01:17that overachieved again.
01:19Now comes the tough part.
01:21What do you do to take the next step?
01:25Because I firmly believe if you just think you're going to run it back, I do not think
01:30they're better than Boston with the same team.
01:33If Milwaukee can figure it out, what happens with Philadelphia, they're bringing another star.
01:37New York's has got to continue to make moves, including bringing back some of their free
01:43agents that were keys to this success this year.
