It gets it fires up at three huck no gold
but too it's gone. It's gone. It's gone.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
With one point supergating, let's take the lead.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Oh yeah, Nobby, that's one o seven, one on six.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
You can never know why. It's like you're gonna like
where the reasons just start us and there's a.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Golden lordly light to joints found you.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
You why I'm gonna do that? You hot behind that
man a few years.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I did you think this fugnn but will win?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We look at me. I'm coming back.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I gotta take this guy down.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
The seventh always.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Little that's it.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
It's over the greatest comeback and having a playoff history.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I can't believe that.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Can you believe it?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
John? No, I literally sat there or stood there in
the bowl for about, I don't know, thirty minutes after
that whistle blue and the horn sounded, just trying to
figure out what happened and to make sure it actually
had happen. I was. It was one of the most
unbelievable sporting events that I've ever been to.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
That is that, and that says that says something. It's
John Schmelk, who was at Madison Square Garden last night.
I can't imagine, but I have to ask, did anyone
leave and discussed at any point when they were down big?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I didn't see anyone. Yeah, you know, there were like
one or two people that you know, literally you could
hear like one or two people going into half like
you booed a couple of times right down twenty seven
and a half or twenty eight and a half and
I think it was twenty nine overall. One point in
the second quarter. But no, and look, you have to
(02:09):
give the crawd credit because they're part of that. I mean,
once they got down to like eighteen the third quarter,
like the crowd was into it and like people were
acting like they were down three, not eighteen. When they
made shots in the third quarter of that game. It
was an unbelievable atmosphere by the guarding crowd, and they
were part of, really, I think, shaking up the Spurs,
(02:29):
who are an equal part of the story as well
as the next playing that comeback. When you have that
big of a comeback, it's a two way street. Not
only did the Knicks have to play well, but the
Spurs have to collapse. And boy was that a Spurs collapse. Well,
I heard Timothy Shallman, Kendall Jenner were holding hands. It
was so intense. I mean, I think they're probably holding
(02:51):
hands whether it's intense or not.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
No hand with Who do you go to the games with?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
John, Well, I'm not holding hands with anyone with the game.
But the game. The game yesterday I went to with
my brother who was about ten years old than me.
We've been through a lot of bad and emotional Nick
games over the years, So that was that was that.
That was almost a perfect person to watch that game with.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Hey, what I mean, I thought it was a terrible shot.
What did you think of brunson shot to win it?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
The yep, I understand why you would think it's not
a great shot. The problem is you got about what
it was seven seconds on the clock there on the
in bound five point nine seconds, six seconds whatever it was,
and the Spurs put two on the ball immediately, and
one of them is Victor won Bayama.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
So they need to rebounding underneath well one.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, but either he takes that shot or he's not
taking that shot, you know what I mean? Like, if
you want Brunson to take that shot, that's the only
halfway decent. Look, he's getting is by pulling up for
the long three. Now you can make the argument that
ye had just give it to Ananobi and let him
take that because they didn't cover him on the inbound pass.
But I understand why Brunson, who had hit a couple
(04:10):
of long threes already in that fourth quarter, thought that
was the best look they were going to get. They'd
come back at that point, at that moment, right they
were They must have been so tuned up. Ray about then, Oh,
I mean the whole place was tuned up. I mean
that place was as loud as I've ever heard any
place in terms of where they were at that point
(04:32):
of the game. I'm gonna make guys, I'm going to
miss some like analytical point at this point. I think
I blocked out three or four different times over the
point of that fourth quarter of that game. And literally
I got I got home probably around like one fifteen
one thirty, and I rewatched the fourth quarter, and there
were plays that I literally did not remember, wow from
(04:52):
watching the game live.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Hey, So two more questions for John Schmelk. Was there
last night? Why was the watch party outside canceled? Nolan
wouldn't put the screens up before the game.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I'm still trying to figure that out. He requested a permit,
they granted it, but it wasn't for enough people. But
then the city said, well, they didn't request the permit
four enough people. So I don't know what that back
and forth was about. To be honest with you, I
did watch parties all over the city. It was silly.
(05:28):
I did not understand why the NYPD had to have
a like six block cordon around the garden. So basically
you cannot walk or drive between sixth and eighth Avenues
between thirty twenty ninth Street and thirty seventh or thirty
eighth Street, and I thought that was the deal on Monday.
(05:51):
I thought that's because the President was here though, but
it wasn't. That was another YPD thing, which I don't
get it because look, there's still nineteen thousand people at
the game. There's the same number of people that are
every nick regular season game. I don't like there's more
people there. So I don't know if it was because
of just proud management answer to the game, if they
would have won it, that's why. But basically, the Garden
was upset that the NYPD and the city decided to,
(06:13):
you know, have that court in there because they really
I think the Garden has a point on one thing.
If you have a bar inside that zone that people
can't get to, you're not how much money that bar
probably was going to make on a night like last
night or a night like Monday night, and then they're
not going to allow them to exactly right, and you're
not gonna let people go inside that zone. I understand why.
(06:37):
I'm sure the Garden has other reasons to to, you know,
of their own to want to not have that rule there,
but it's simply from the small businesses around the Garden.
I understand why that would be a big problem.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Final question, Smail, But you worried, let's say they win
it Saturday night in San Antonio. Are you worried that
the win will be overshadowed by the fans reaction in
the city.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I hope not. I mean, we've seen we've seen New
York teams win after long pauses, and look, you can
never change the actions of a dozen people, or to
you know, two dozen people that are going to take
advantage of a team winning who aren't even real fans,
(07:22):
and you're just using that as an excuse to act
like a thug or an idiot, and there are people
that are going to do that and you can't stop it.
But you hope that's not what everyone else pays attention to,
because it's not real representative of the whole. And I
think that's all you can say about it. I'm not
sure you guys saw it. I guess when the Spurs
got back to their team hotel last night, somebody like
(07:44):
threw something in the vicinity of Victor one, but I
don't know. I couldn't even tell what it was on
the video and they can kind of hit him in
the leg. It wasn't a big deal, wasn't anything big.
It might have been like a pizza food or something.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Taylor Swift and our friends had all pun shirts on
last night.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
It was a lot of fun. She has Stevie Nick
sure on it. That's the thing. Everybody had fun and
this is something that real Nick fans have been waiting
for for a long time. And I just all, you know,
to the point of your question, which I think is
a fair question about I hate the fact that you're
(08:20):
asking it. But because of a few morons that are
doing idiotic things after the mix have won, some of
these games that they just don't give a really bad
representation of the city because I think historically when New
York teams have won, you have not seen the burning
of the car or the rioting and some of the
other nonsense that we've seen when other teams have won
(08:40):
in the past. And I do really hope that contain if, if,
if the Knicks figure out a way to win this thing,
because there is a long way to go. There is
still one more game to win. The job is not done.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Well see what happens Saturday night, eight o'clock.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
It's such great insight and so glad that you were
at the game when your brother last.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Absolutely time sch milk guys anytime, then I appreciate it.
