As long as Chuck doesn't "guarantee" the Knicks, they are good to go.

Stephen A. Is so happy but yet Big Perk is out NYer'ing him on this take. Yes I believe NYK defense is making them take rush 3 point shots, taking their rhythm away. Perk on the other hand is correct, Brunson has not had his signature playoff game yet against the Celtics, and now that he smells blood he's due for a 45 pt game.

Come Smith, don't blight the squad. Just let the series play out.. One game @ the time, bruv!!!! Perk, the series isn't over them its a lot of game left, so let's take it easy and let the Knicks do what they do.
