1 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: As if one night in Boston wasn't enough, then came 2 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: to two Knights in Boston, too, glorious, two glorious Knights 3 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: in Boston. When we made the Garden Eden, we made 4 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: the Boston Garden Eden. The New York Knicks in twenty 5 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: twenty five made the Boston Garden Eden. I don't know 6 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: what the name of that arena is. I honestly could care. 7 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 2: Less what that The name of that new Boston Garden 8 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 2: place where they play basketball is called, what is it? 9 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: The Cisco the Cisco Building. It's got no history, it's 10 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: got no soul. All the history from Boston Celtic basketball 11 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: is gone in the debris from the Boston Garden. I thought, okay, well, 12 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: we came from twenty points down the other night. Let's 13 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: just get back to New York and keep playing, keep fighting, 14 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: and lo and behold, it happened again, Boston. It happened again, Boston. 15 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: It happened again Boston. When I repeat things in threes, 16 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: does it remind you of Halachack stole the ball. Halachack 17 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: stole the ball, Halachack stole the ball? Does it remind 18 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: you of that? When Johnny Most said, Halacheck stole the 19 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: ball over and over and over. Well, the new Halicheck 20 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: stole the ball is Bridges stole the ball again. Bridges 21 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: stole the ball again. Bridges stole the ball again. You 22 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: fuck you. Now we think about going to the hardware store. 23 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: Now we have to consider going to the hardware store 24 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: to get out the brooms. Okay, now we're talking about brooms, 25 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: and I suggest New York Nick fans in New York 26 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: Tri state area, don't go to Target, don't go to 27 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: Home Depot, don't go to Rite Aid, Dwayne Reid or CVS. 28 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: When you go get your brooms, go to your local 29 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: old school hardware store where they got the old thick, 30 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: thick handle with the goodwood. Get the goodwood broom from 31 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: your local hardware store. Now, I'm not saying we're gonna sweep, 32 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: but it's on the table. I ain't saying the Knicks 33 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: are going to sweep the Celtics, but it's on the table. 34 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: I know something about brooms. Oh yeah, I brought a 35 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: broom to the Cleveland Cavaliers versus the Golden State Warriors 36 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: Game three. I'm saying, different set of circumstances they had 37 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: Durant Klay Thompson in his prime, Steph Curry, Steph Curry. 38 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: Last name rhymes with Flurry and so forth and so on. 39 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: But if you're really about that Knicks life, and I'm 40 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: not saying I am, if you're really thinking about sweeping up, 41 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: bring that broom to the garden for Game three. If 42 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: the Knicks beat the miserable Boston Celtics Saturday, in Game 43 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: three Sunday morning, every single broom from every local hardware 44 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: store in New York City should be sold out. You 45 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: should not be able to have a broom. And like 46 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: I said, get the thick wood, the heavy wood, not 47 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: the plastic. Oh it's light. Get the kind of a wood. 48 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: The broom handle an old school that used to play 49 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: stickball with with the bristles that you could clean in 50 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: the house and you could also clean the street with. 51 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: I woke up this morning, I'm not thinking so much 52 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: about the Knicks Celtics history. Let's be honest, there isn't 53 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: much to think about Knicks Celtics. There is no rivalry. 54 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: When the Knicks went up two games to nothing in 55 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: the second round of this series, after coming back not 56 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: once from twenty points down twice two fucking times, I 57 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: start thinking about nineteen seventy nine Madison Square Garden. I 58 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: start thinking about the Boston Bruins in the world's most 59 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: famous arena playing the Rangers third period. I'm not even 60 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: a I'm not even a hockey fan. Nine years old. 61 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: Young Michael Rapport, nine years old, December nineteen seventy nine. 62 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: It was like a violent act had taken place in 63 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: New York City. Those goons, Terry O'Reilly and that other 64 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: ape Lalande Lalandi from the Boston Bruins. When they they 65 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: couldn't just leave well enough alone. They couldn't just leave 66 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,239 Speaker 1: the world's most famous arena. If somebody said something, somebody 67 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: did something, somebody took a stick. Who cares. The apes 68 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: from the Boston Bruins they went into They went into 69 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: the stands at Madison Square Garden and started beating up 70 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: New Yorkers. Boston Bruins. Terry O'Reilly and the rest of 71 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: those goons went into the stands and start beating up 72 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: New York Ranger fans. Terry O'Reilly or one of those 73 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: animals started beating up a New York Ranger fan with 74 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: his own shoe. When I think about the Knicks being 75 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: up two games to nothing, two games to nothing after 76 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: being down twenty points, not once, twice, two times. I 77 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: think about that. I think about Bucky Dent, Bucky Dent, 78 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: fucking Bucky Dent with that little that little dink on 79 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: that glorious day in September or October.

He looks like Scott Bayle in his prime, 82 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: looked like Ralph Machio in his prime, Eric Estrada in 83 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: his prime. I think about that. It's not just about 84 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: the Celtics and the Nick You've gotten the better of 85 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: us year after there's no comparison. We haven't won a 86 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: championship since nineteen seventy three, which I documented fabulously, award 87 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: winning thirty for thirty, When the Garden was eating, and 88 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: we made the Boston Garden eating last night twice, two times, 89 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: two nights in Boston. That sounds like a porno. That 90 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: sounds like a poor no film. That sounds like a 91 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: no no. Two nights in Boston. I don't just think 92 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: about Larry Joe Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parrish, Danny Ainge, 93 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: Jerry Seasting, the late great Dennis Johnson, Bill Fitch, KC. Jones. 94 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: I don't think about Red auerback, Bill Russell, so Forth 95 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: and so on, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce. I start to 96 00:07:54,640 --> 00:08:00,679 Speaker 1: think about some of the deeper, paying to think about 97 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: Babe Ruth. Yeah, that's what I start to think about. 98 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: When the Knicks come down from twenty points, not once, 99 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: but two times. I think about the Curse of the Bambino. 100 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: I start to think about two thousand and four and 101 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: Pedro Martinez when he had assaulted Don Zimmer, the late 102 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: great Don Zimmer.

It's beyond on the NBA. It's a beyond basketball. 112 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: This is deep seated hate.
