Last night came his 26th career playoff game leading his team in points, rebounds, and assists. That’s the third most by any player in the postseason in the shot clock era behind Luca and LeBron. Time to bring in our NBA front office insider. Bobby Marx is joining us on the program. Bobby, Nicola Joic. She’s going to get the headlines this morning and for good reason. But Denver’s bench was also a massive factor. What stood out to you there? Well, it was the non Nicola Joic minutes in that fourth quarter there. Remember Denver was a minus 26 during the playoffs when Joic was off the court. During that stretch in that fourth quarter, they were a plus two here. and and it certainly comes to Julian Strower. The trust that interim coach David Alderman had in Strower played a significant role in Denver forcing a game seven here. 15 points in the second half. Remember, he had 17 points total in all of the playoffs here. The ability to use the bench, the ability to get the starters rest, the playoff strer, certainly Payton Watson also played a pivotal role in Denver getting back to Oklahoma City for game seven. Well, that game seven is 3:30 Eastern on ABC on Sunday. Meanwhile, we got game six tonight in the East between the Knicks and the Celtics at Madison Square Garden. Bobby, what are your keys for both teams in this one? Yeah, I mean for Boston, it’s it’s two simple ones really. It’s the first one is take the crowd out of it. We know MA Madison Square Garden is going to be buzzing tonight. An elimination game. New York trying to get to the to the finals for the first time since 99. certainly f follow the formula of that game three. Get the crowd out of it. The second thing is play with house money. Nobody is expecting this Boston team especially with the Jason Tatum injury to get out of the this conference semifinals here. The pressure is on New York. And then for New York, don’t play from behind, Randy. They are a minus 61 in the first half in the first five games here. The second, don’t make it about the role players. We saw in game we saw in game five, Payton Pritchard, Sam Hower, and then the third, get the ball out of Jaylen Brown’s hands. He They are at his best when Brown has the ball in his hands. Yeah, the Knicks have not clinched a playoff series at Madison Square Garden this millennium. The last time they did it was in 1999 conference finals against the Pacers, and Gary was celebrating the Willennium back then. He’s a big Will Smith guy. Bobby Marks, thank you so much. That what I look [Music] like with the heat. I’m on fire. CDA on [Applause]
