Craig Carton Predicts 30-Point 'Burger' for OG Anunoby in Game 3

**Chris McMonigle** (0:00)
Playoff Preview, this is where I take the opportunity to put Craig on the spot. We also have the player, the watch coming up, we'll put you on the spot again. Playoff Preview, Knicks are down at the half.
Concerned?

**Craig Carton** (0:14)
No.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:14)
No. Knicks are down at the end of three quarters.

**Craig Carton** (0:16)
By how many?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:18)
Knicks go into the second, Knicks go into the fourth quarter down six.

**Craig Carton** (0:22)
That's a win.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:22)
That's a win.

**Craig Carton** (0:23)
Yeah. At what point on? It's a dub.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:25)
It's a dub.

**Craig Carton** (0:26)
It's a dub a dub.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:27)
What's the matchup you're most concerned about?

**Craig Carton** (0:30)
Minute left down 18

**Chris McMonigle** (0:31)
Minute left down 18

**Craig Carton** (0:32)
That's a problem for the Knicks if that happens. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. I'm not, I told you from jump, I'm not.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:41)
What about Wembay?

**Craig Carton** (0:43)
Look, I think I told you before the series started that if Wembay averaged 26, 10 and four, the Knicks are winning the finals, right? I told you that before.
Wembay was not the concern to me. Now, if you tell me Wembay has 45 and 20, yeah, obviously, that's an issue. But I thought that the question was going to be for the Knicks. If you give Wembay 26 and 10, what other spur is going to come up big for them to win a ballgame? Now, Dylan Harper has been their best player.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:13)
He has been.

**Craig Carton** (1:13)
All right? To his credit, Castle is a hell of a ballplayer. Has not been great. Obviously, there's been some foul issues here and there with a couple of the guys. But outside of Wembay, you tell me the guy that the Knicks don't have an answer for, which is why I told you before the series started, outside of Wembay having a Clyde Frazier type game, I was not that concerned about what Wembay does. He's a huge presence defensively, no doubt about that. And it doesn't show up in the stat sheet because he changes people's shots and scares you not to shoot, right?
But what's the spur player that you say right now, game on the line, close game, you know, back and forth, you know, one score game that you think that guy's going to have his way with the Knicks defense.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:00)
Nobody.

**Craig Carton** (2:01)
We are talking about one of the most elite defensive teams in the last 25 years.
This team could have played in the 90s era and more than held their own. Oh, absolutely. So matchups? Yeah. I think the spurs are asking themselves that right now.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:19)
They are.

**Craig Carton** (2:20)
What matchup can we stop or take advantage of?
And I think Carl Anthony Towns has been great defensively. I think Mitchell Robinson, limited minutes, has been fantastic. And again, remember this stat if you want to be a stat guy. And then I got Anthony Gallo live from the garden right now. I'll get to him in a second. Josh Hart has as many rebounds in this series as Wemby does. He's a foot shorter.
So that's why I'm not concerned about Wemby having 26 and 10 I gave him 26 and 10 before the series started.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:59)
And he's living off to it.

**Craig Carton** (3:01)
And that's it. He missed a wide open shot to win game two. He had the turnover that gave the Knicks the lead.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:09)
That's going to be tough for him to live down.

**Craig Carton** (3:11)
Yeah, that's his legacy.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:13)
That's his legacy right now.

**Craig Carton** (3:14)
That's exactly right.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:15)
His legacy right now is being happy that they won the Western Conference, not showing up in the NBA Finals and throwing the ball away with the chance to win in game two. That's his legacy right now. Legacy!

**Craig Carton** (3:24)
That's his legacy.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:26)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (3:26)
And he painted in the park yesterday, enjoyed a little Central Park on a Sunday. I guess he's given up already.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:33)
I guess so.

**Craig Carton** (3:34)
If you've already gone to painting in the park, you've given up. Let's go live to Madison Square Garden right now. Anthony Gallo is there with a press pass. What do you got, Ant? How's it going?

**Anthony Gallo** (3:44)
Oh, the vibes are immaculate. I'm in the building.

**Craig Carton** (3:47)
Yes.

**Anthony Gallo** (3:47)
You know, the amazing garden staff is game. I'm by a pallet of garden popcorn right now, literally standing right next to it. They're pre-prepping the hot dogs. It is awesome. It was very easy getting in. Obviously, I got here early, so maybe I beat the crowd, but it was easy getting in.
